Cesare Basile starts his music career in Catania, Sicily, in the early 80s. Between 1987 and 1994 Cesare Basile plays with different bands like Kim Squad and Quartered Shadows touring in Italy and Europe.In 1990, after recording Quartered Shadows album Quartered Shadows, Cesare moves with the band to Berlin where they became part of the alternative scene in Prenzlauerberg for several years. In 1993 Quartered Shadows record The Last Floor Beach, produced by Mark De Reus, (Urban Dance Squad).

With the band splitting up Cesare moves back to Sicily and records his first solo record, titled La pelle (the skin), considered by the press the best debut record of 1996. A couple of years later the album Stereoscope (Blackout/Mercury) is released. Closet Meraviglia (ExtraLabels/Virgin), produced by Hugo Race (Nick Cave - True Spirit), is the third solo record and features also John Bonnar (Dead Can Dance) who wrote the strings scores and the italian cult band Massimo Volume. The album has a very international feel to it, and Cesare Basile plays also various shows outside Italy as part of the Closet Meraviglia tour.
The following album, titled Gran Calavera Elettrica, is another important step in Cesare Basiles musical journey. Now with an amazing backing band and produced by John Parish (P.J. Harvey, Sparklehorse, Giant Sand, Tracy Chapman, Eels, Goldfrapp) the record digs deep into the roots of rock and blues, with poignant lyrics that speak about love and death, and is made even more special by important collaborations like John Bonnar (Dead Can Dance), Lorenzo Corti and Nada Malanima.
