Pipya is the alter ego of Federico Pipia, a producer, composer, and musician from Palermo, now based in Bologna. The project emerged from his desire to explore different musical inspirations without genre boundaries. Pipya has released three albums, each with its own distinct identity: BANG (2022), a blend of electronic, dance, prog-rock, and psychedelic influences; Dungeon Clash Tournament (2024), a collaborative work in eight levels inspired by video game universes; and And The GangBand Vol 1 (2024), an instrumental album with more experimental sounds.
