Davide Simon Mazzoli was born in Milan, Italy, in 1980 but he has been living in Orlando, Florida, with his family for the past decade. At the end of the 1990s, he began working in the entertainment industry as a set designer, sculptor, and project manager in the theme park and entertainment sector. While his career as a writer and director of TV shows and fiction has been expansive and fulfilling— he has worked with MTV, SKY, and other networks — his career as an author has truly been the most rewarding to him. 

His book titled Radio-grafia di un DJ che Non Piace (X-Ray of an Unlikable DJ) was published by Rizzoli and became a bestseller in the first 10 days of publication. Then, his thriller Lo Specchio del Male (The Mirror of Evil) was published by TEA, and that same year, Mondadori published also his book titled Non Mollare Mai! (Never Give Up!). These three books have been published in Italy. 

After the big success of his novels, Sperling & Kupfer published the first book of his YA fantasy saga The Magical Lands of Midendhil, which was then translated and published in Bulgaria by Egmont, Brazil by Saraiva Group, and now in United States of America by W. Brand Publishing. 

Thanks to the great feedback from the readers, the first Midendhil book became the night show theme of Mirabilandia, one of the most successful and important theme parks in Europe. 

Davide Simon Mazzoli is also a screen player and movie director. He produced the movie On Air: Storia di un Successo (On Air: A Success Story), which was based on his novel X-Ray of an Unlikable DJ and distributed by Medusa. For this movie, he received the Best Director Award at the 13th Magna Græcia Film Festival. 

He recently published in Italy the novel Uccidi il Male (Kill the Evil), first book of a thriller series by La Corte Editore, and a collection of short stories  by Mondadori. For the international market he created Benny and His Friends, an educational picture book series by Moon Publishing, an imprint of Rusconi Editore. 

Davide Simon Mazzoli is also the founder of Onset Studio, a company specialized in entertainment developments, virtual reality, and augmented reality formats for new worldwide development. When not writing, directing, or producing, you can find him spending time with his beloved kids and wife, enjoying all that Florida has to offer.
