BIOGRAPHY

SPOOKYMAN, pseudonym of Giulio Allegretti (Rome, June 19, 1986), is an Italian singer-songwriter, composer, and multi-instrumentalist.

He is known for his musical style, which he defines as “Weird Music” or “Atomic Music,” combining elements of Blues, Electronic, Exotica, Acousmatic music, and Lo-Fi.

Passionate about art and electronics, he creates musical devices, visual apparatuses, and fictional elements that he integrates into his live performances, including a modified television set used as an oscilloscope, the acoustic-visual instrument Acousmophone, and the retro-futuristic virtual presence Olivia.

In 2008, he debuted in the music scene with a one-man band project, playing a self-modified guitar while simultaneously using his feet to strike a collection of everyday objects such as suitcases, buckets, cowbells, and tin cans.

From 2010 onwards, he has collaborated with theater directors and videomakers as a soundtrack composer and producer.

In 2015, he composed the song “Chat Noir” for the Italian band Le Cardamomò, included in their album Vive la vie.

His recording debut came in 2016 with the self-produced album Spookyman, containing 13 original tracks: twelve in English and one “ghost track” in Italian.

In 2021, he released his second album of original songs as a quartet, Blood, Sweat and Tears — released by Bloos Records — under the name Spookyman & The All Nighters.

In the same year, he mixed and mastered Corey Harris’ album The Insurrection Blues.

In 2023, he released the single “Crawling Wails” online, announcing a new phase in his musical research.

In the first half of 2024, he traveled overseas to the United States with his Acousmatic Orchestra for a tour of 18 concerts across California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, and Louisiana.

In 2025, Spookyman represented Italy in the Solo/Duo category at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis.

His third album, The Spookalicious Space Sound of Spookyman & His Acousmatic Orchestra, will be released on July 31, 2026 by Voodoo Rhythm Records.

Over the years, Spookyman has brought his music to stages across Europe, and the United States, performing in clubs, small theaters, festivals, and independent cultural spaces.

Today, Spookyman continues to shape a distinctive artistic universe, blending blues, electronics, handmade instruments, and retro-futuristic imagery into a sound and vision entirely his own.
