Michael Volpe (born May 12, 1987), known professionally as Clams Casino, is an Italian-American record producer and songwriter from Nutley, New Jersey.[1][2] Volpe is currently signed to Columbia Records and Sony Music. He has produced tracks for artists such as ASAP Rocky,[3]Lil B,[4]Vince Staples,[5]Joji,[6] and Mac Miller[7] and has also remixed works by Big K.R.I.T.,[8]Washed Out,[9] and Lana Del Rey.[10]
Career[edit]
A resident of Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, Volpe got his start in music tinkering with keyboards while he was a student at Nutley High School.[11]
Volpe's official debut EP Rainforest was released through Tri Angle Records on June 27, 2011.[12] His Instrumentals mixtape was released on March 7, 2011,[13] followed by the release of Instrumentals 2 on June 5, 2012[14] and Instrumentals 3 on December 18, 2013.[15] The mixtapes were distributed for free through his website.
Volpe contributed a score for Locomotor, a work choreographed by his cousin Stephen Petronio released on April 4, 2014.[16] He released his debut studio album 32 Levels through Columbia Records on July 15, 2016. He followed it up with his Instrumentals 4 mixtape, released on June 26, 2017.
In April 2020, Clams Casino cleared the Imogen Heap sample for his instrumental 'I'm God', which first appeared on Lil B's 2009 album 6 Kiss.[17][18] The song remains his most popular song with nearly 25 million views on Youtube.
Musical style[edit]
Volpe's music has been described as '[bringing] together conventional hip-hop drums, a sensitive ear for off-to-the-side melodies, and an overdose of oddly moving atmosphere.'[19] Associated genres include witch house and cloud rap.

'It's great, how easy it is to get stuff out, and make music at home and all the sudden people everywhere can hear it,' he says, from his home in Hasbrouck Heights.... The Nutley High School grad first began to tinker with beats as a teen, fooling around with basic keyboards and synthesizers, much simpler ones than the machines now scattered around his basement home studio.'
