Paolo Francesco Gregoletto (born September 14, 1985 in Miami, Florida) is an Italian-American bass player who plays for the band Trivium. Gregoletto resides in Pompano Beach, Florida. He is Italian on his father's side and American on his mother's side. Well known metal producer Colin Richardson called him the best bassist he has ever worked with.
Paolo Gregoletto joined Trivium on September 5, 2004 when Matt Heafy, Corey Beaulieu and Travis Smith were in the studio demoing new material for what would become Ascendancy. Gregoletto was in the studio with Jason Suecof next to where Trivium were demoing, and was told by Suecof that they needed a bass player. After jamming with other members, Gregoletto agreed to record for Ascendancy and tour to promote it with the band. Gregoletto originally had no intentions of staying with Trivium, but wanted touring experience. He joined just in time for the tour Trivium booked with Machine Head.
Apart from playing bass, he also is capable of playing the guitar. He has been a songwriter for Trivium since The Crusade, on which he composed the songs "To The Rats" and "The Rising" on his own, as well as being the co-writer of "Anthem (We Are The Fire)" with Matt Heafy.
Gregoletto is known to be most frequently interactive with Trivium fans, often answering questions, posting many videos, photos, and band updates via his official Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. Paolo has also recently opened an online forum accessible at www.paolo-gregoletto.com. Since 2013 he has written a monthly column for the UK's Bass Guitar Magazine.
