Davie504


Davide Biale, known by his online alias Davie504, is an Italian YouTuber and musician known for playing bass guitar with a slapping technique.

Career

Biale started his YouTube channel in 2011. In 2012, he began to upload unconventional cover performances of songs. Examples of these videos include him using M&M's to cover songs by Eminem, a Korn medley played with actual corn, and a Red Hot Chili Peppers medley played with actual chili peppers. 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, and playing a bassline which was claimed by Deadmau5 to be "technically impossible".
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 and well as a video series where he reacts to posts made on his subreddit page.
In 2017, Chowny Bass released the Davie504 signature bass guitar. In May 2019, Biale was listed as number two on MusicRadar's list of "the 20 hottest bassists in the world today". He received his Youtube Gold Play Button later that year, which he turned into a custom bass alongside Amnesia Guitars.
