Sergio Pizzorno
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sergio Lorenzo Pizzorno (b. 15 December 1980 in Newton Abbot, Devon, England) is an English musician and member of Leicester based band, Kasabian. He is the main songwriter of the band.
His father emigrated from Genoa, Italy to England and settled in Leicester. Despite being brought up in the city, Sergio was born in Newton Abbot, Devon, because his mother liked the hospital there so much. He currently plays guitar for the band as well as adding backing vocals, although on a few songs such as "Shoot The Runner", "British Legion" and "Me Plus One", he sings the lead part.
Pizzorno's favoured guitar is a red Rickenbacker 481 which he has played in all of the bands music videos, and nearly all live performances
He is commonly called "Serge". He gained cult fame from his volley on Soccer AM last year, which has been repeated many times. It has been very popular on You Tube
Worked with ex-Kasabian lead guitarist and co-songwriter Chris Karloff on the DJ shadow track "The Tiger" from the album "The Outsider".
