About Me

Vittorio Merlo is born in Milan, Italy and he is living since 1994 in Luxembourg. He has started composing his songs at 15 and he has always continued using the art of composing like a sort of personal journal where to put sensations and passions. His songs are influenced by many styles and mainly by the so-called "cantautori".In 1999 he decided to use Mp3.com for the diffusion through internet of his songs. The reaction of the Internet public was good and he became in a short period the author of the most popular Italian songs on the net. More then 250.000 downloads for his songs, the most popular songs were Ferrari and Non sopporto I Berlusconi (I can't stand Berlusconi).The international press noticed it and many articles about Vittorio's success on Internet have been published (Libération, La Vanguardia, Corriere della Sera, ANSA, etc.). In Luxembourg Le Quotidien has dedicated an article about Vittorio on the Front Page.September 2003 he has participated at the Italian Festival "Una casa per Rino Gaetano" in Crotone with his song "Ho sognato Bruno Vespa": standing ovation and 3rd place between more then 1400 artists!In 2005 Vittorio Merlo has published his CD "Ho sognato Bruno Vespa".
