Paolo Coruzzi is an Italian musician, composer, educator and researcher based in London.
His artistic journey began in music in the early 1990s and has since expanded across composition, theatre, education and archaeology. As a singer, guitarist and songwriter, he has independently written, recorded and produced numerous albums, composed soundtracks for theatre productions and collaborated with fellow artists on original musical projects.
Alongside his musical career, Paolo developed a strong passion for theatre. Following formal drama training, he spent several years writing and directing stage productions, bringing works by playwrights such as Ionesco, Euripides and Ibsen to audiences in both Italy and the United Kingdom. His experiences in theatre continue to influence his approach to music, storytelling and artistic expression.
Education has remained a central part of Paolo's professional life. Since the late 1990s he has taught music, Italian language and literature, humanities and drama in schools, colleges and private settings, helping students of all ages develop both academic knowledge and creative confidence.
His academic interests eventually led him towards archaeology and the study of the ancient Mediterranean world. Paolo holds an MA in Humanities and Arts from the University of Turin, a Diploma in Classical Guitar from Trinity College London, and an MA in Archaeology from University College London. He is currently undertaking doctoral research at Cardiff University, exploring the diffusion of early Christian rock-cut tombs and churches across the Mediterranean basin.
This combination of artistic practice and academic research inspired the creation of Sacred Archaeology, a project dedicated to exploring the relationship between landscape, history, spirituality and human creativity.
In addition to his work as a musician and researcher, Paolo is the founder of SounVid, a creative production studio specialising in music, video and digital media.
His published works include the poetry collection Viandanti nelle Terre del Sole and FAB Guitarist, an introductory guide for aspiring guitar players.
Whether through music, teaching, research or creative collaboration, Paolo's work is united by a fascination with storytelling, cultural heritage and the enduring connections between people, places and ideas.
