From the age of 10, Pucciarelli received private classical guitar lessons and started exploring and playing different music genres.

Since then, he released Feel Free to Feel Free (2019) and Tunes We Like (2021). The Pucciarelli Group has performed in some of the finest London clubs such as The Pizza Express Jazz Club, Hampstead Jazz Club as well as theatres such as Tara Theatre and the Hackney Empire. The Pucciarelli Group’s new album is entitled Uplift and sees Giuseppe go back to record with his Italian quartet, featuring Aldo Capasso (double bass), Ergio Valente (piano) and Marco Gagliano (drums).
