Davie504

Davide Biale began playing bass guitar in high school after being influenced by Kiss bassist Gene Simmons.[2] In 2011, he created a channel named Davie504, and began to upload unconventional cover performances of songs in 2012.[3] Examples of these videos include him using M&M's to cover songs by Eminem,[4] a Korn medley played with actual corn,[5][6] and a Red Hot Chili Peppers medley played with actual chili peppers.[7] He also performs musical challenges, which are often suggested to him by comments on his videos, such as playing an uninterrupted slap bass solo for 5 hours,[8] and playing a bassline which was claimed by Deadmau5 to be "technically impossible".[9]

Biale is also known for uploading meme-related videos and covers. Most notably, he contributed to the PewDiePie vs T-Series competition, where he played a bass cover of "Bitch Lasagna" outside of the T-Series headquarters as well as a video series where he reacts to posts made on his subreddit page.[10][11]

In 2017, Chowny Bass released the Davie504 signature bass guitar.[12] In May 2019, Biale was listed as number two on MusicRadar's list of "the 20 hottest bassists in the world today".[13] He received his Youtube Gold Play Button later that year, which he turned into a custom bass alongside Amnesia Guitars.[14]

Biale has an indigenous Taiwanese girlfriend, who also plays bass.[15]
