Kee Marcello is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on February 20, 1960 in Sweden, Sweden. Swedish guitarist who played with the rock group Europe and went on to pursue a solo career.
He maintains that Charlie Parker is one of his favorite jazz musicians.
Throughout the years, Marcello played in various bands such as Stetson Cody Group, Norbom Hilke and Noice, before he formed Easy Action in 1982. They released two albums, Easy Action and That Makes One. Easy Action was the first Scandinavian band to sign a worldwide major label deal with a US label, with the Warner label Sire Records in 1983. Zinny J. Zan later left the band and was replaced by Tommy Nilsson. They recorded That Makes One in 1985-1986 and released it in 1986, only months before Marcello left the band in November 1986 to join Europe, replacing their original guitarist John Norum. In 1993 he formed/joined Red Fun together with Easy Action drummer Fredrik Von Gerber and the same year they released their first and only album Red Fun. In 1995 he embarked on his solo career by the release of his first solo album Shine On. and his fifth and most recent one, Scaling Up was released by Frontiers Records in October 2016. During 2013-2014 he starred in the Swedish production of the Broadway musical Rock Of Ages (musical) in which he got to portray himself in a specially written role. Since 2015 he has participated in different versions of Rock Of 80’s which did a sold out stadium tour of Sweden during the fall of 2016. He is currently on tour with the Kee Marcello Band.
Marcello had previously collaborated with Europe vocalist Joey Tempest on the hugely successful single “Give a Helpin’ Hand” for the charity project ‘Swedish Metal Aid’. He also produced the platinum selling record and subsequently gave Tempest his very first hit single. The success of this collaboration was probably instrumental for the decision of asking Marcello to become the new guitar player. When he joined Europe in 1986, the band had not done any extensive touring outside Sweden, but that was about to change when “The Final Countdown” eventually reached number one on the singles charts in 25 countries. In 1987, Europe embarked on “The Final Countdown World Tour”, their first world tour.
He grew up in Ludvika, Sweden.
