After studying classical piano at the Rossini Conservatory in Pesaro, he released a single. As a musician, he has performed in many countries, including for King Hussein of Jordan. In 1983 he returned to Italy, where he has worked as a composer for the RAI TV. He was involved in programs such as "tandem" and "sul Vediamoci 2" presented by Rita Dalla Chiesa and Fabrizio Frizzi. At the same time he wrote the song "Forza Rimini" for the football club of the city. In the spring of 1990 he released his first album "Sognatori Erranti" on the label NAR. The song Vecchio Poeta was produced and performed with the classic Scarlatti Orchestra of Italy. Lorenzo Piani for seven years, then moved to Scandinavia (Denmark, Norway, Sweden), where he played with his band at clubs. In 1995, he published the RTI Music CD single The Train, and in 1998 the RTI Music album VIVO feeling. In 2000, Lorenzo Piani began a new adventure as artistic director of Balla Bella Radio Festival Talent Scout project. In 2008, he had an important collaboration with Brian Auger, who played the organ for the album sorpresi Dal Vento. In 2011, he released his fifth album, entitled La Filosofia del CAM. CAM stands for food, love and music. A massive radio promotion brought the song for weeks in the Indie Music Charts.

In July 2013 was released the new album of the singer/songwriter Lorenzo Piani, titled10 ten. 10 is what Lorenzo Piani defines as the perfect number to which he dedicates the track that closes the entire project. Lorenzo Piani was an artist outside the box of the music business and in his career he has always preferred to success, the freedom to make his music. He was a singer-songwriter who is highly respected abroad, performed live regularly, and just from this, his openness to new experiences he developed the idea of the project 10. The travel with the music led him to meet and discuss with other artists from Europe and thus was born the idea of 10, a collaboration with female artists from different European countries, that they duet with him on three tracks in different idioms. The meaning of 10 is the vision of life by Piani, and secondly an analysis of the most intimate feelings of men and women. It's a proposal that shows a way to overcome this critical moment of social and economic life, where the human being finds unsuspected resources in its creativity, in being able to read things and events with a "positive winning" mindset. There are also some jazzy moments dedicated to his passion for the music. For the English speaking market, Nirah, a young performer, duets with Lorenzo in the song THE SOUL, a song that is catchy-sounding and ethno-electronic. For the Spanish, Portuguese and Latin markets, María Villalón, an artist of great talent, duets with Lorenzo Piani in the song “Mudar”. The message of MUDAR that Lorenzo wants to transmit, is a sign of hope in order to change all the negativity that pollutes the existence of human beings, life is to be lived to the fullest. For Austrian and German Markets, Stephanie, a child prodigy of the German melodic song, duets with Lorenzo Piani in GRANDE AMORE. Stephanie wanted to sing the song GRANDE AMORE with Lorenzo Piani, in Italian; for an Austrian singer, an important artistic endeavor. On 27 March 2015 the instrumental album SHADES OF MUSIC was released, a selection of instrumental tracks, which defines the various nuances of the music.

On 20 November 2015 the single "SENZA UN SORRISO" was released. This release is a track from a new art project, conceived by Lorenzo Piani, POP CLASSIC. It is a crossover project, a musical contamination that originates from an array of pop and classical counterpoint develops. His partner in this project is a star of the opera world, the Sicilian soprano Desirée Rancatore. The soprano Desirée Rancatore's voice is interwoven with the dough soft and persuasive voice of Lorenzo Piani, and the theme comes to life through harmonies typical of classical music. The texts are structured with a book specially written, as well as in the tradition of Italian opera.
