I was born in Udine (NE Italy) in 1974. It was the piano studies and the love for music that took me to start the DJ carreer when I was only 16.
While my technique and taste grew, I worked in most of the clubs around the area. While gigging I also worked for some radio stations giving me an opportunity to learn about the music business. I was offered a job as pop/dance promoter for an independent promotion company, so I moved to Milan.
After 4 months I was spotted by the majors and hired by Universal Music Italia, where I signed Italian hit acts such as Sally Can Dance, DeNiro and Elgar. While there I also have the responsibility for the success of hits such as Modjo "Lady", Safri Duo "Played-a-live" and some more...
In 2001 I decided to leave Universal for Warner Music Italy, where I took the position of A&R Manager, head of the dance division. Here I built up the three labels of the group: M.O.D.A. - Music Fashion (the house label), Antirecords (techno) and Y records (pop-dance label).
While working for Warner I singed hits such as...
Room 5
Tommy Vee
DB Boulevard
Lucrezia
Moony
Gianni Coletti
and Punjab...
among the rest. Meanwhile I started (and am still there) to spin the records as resident DJ on friday nights at the Old Fashion Cafè, the most glamourous club in Milan. During my stay at Warner Music I worked on the club promotion and marketing for acts such as Missy Elliott, Sean Paul, Kevin Little, Holly Valance, Live Elements, Tonka, Robbie Rivera, Ruffneck, Tanking Heads, Dannii Minogue, Inaya Day, Narcotic Thrust, The Streets, Chicane, Kings of Tomorrow, Brandy, Craig David, Jewel, Jarabe De Palo, Culture Beat, Twista, Dirotta su Cuba, Raf, Cesare Cremonini & many more.
Between 2003 and 2004 I've also been consulting for Warner Chappell Italia.
Finally in 2004 I left Warner to build up my own record company, and took with me all the brands of the labels I had established while there, plus addes a couple more: FullFX (black music), Oldies! (Catalogue), and WhitePlus (avantgarde label). During the past years the hightlights of the label groups have been
Nicola Fasano
Sun Connection
Harry James
DJ Janet
Max Millan
Anthony Louis
Dr.Alban
Vasco Rossi
and many more.
I am not very active in studio (actually I am not mad about it), but I have seen myself working there a couple of times, namely to remix Francesca St.Martin and Raf, two italian top artists.
I think this is all you have to know about me :-)...
