VOCALIST,KEYBOARD PLAYER,SONGWRITER ,ARRANGER,AND PRODUCER BORN IN ROME SEPT.1964.
SINCE MY CHILDHOOD I WAS VERY INVOLVED IN MUSIC ,PROBABLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT AT MY PARENT’S HOME MUSIC WAS ALWAYS PLAYING FROM A GLORIOUS READER’S DIGEST RECORD PLAYER ( STILL WORKING… ) .
SO THE EARLY YEARS OF MY LIFE WERE SPENT LISTENING TO A LOT OF MUSIC,THAT IN SOME OTHER WAY ALWAYS COMES BACK TO MEMORY.
AT THE AGE OF EIGHT I’VE TAKEN MY FIRST PIANO LESSONS AND ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT AN ACADEMICAL PATH ,FORTUNATELY I’VE DRAWN SOME TECHNICAL SKILLS AND THEORY BASICS FROM THE WELL KNOWN AND RESPECTED M.°MARIO GANGI,INTRODUCED TO HIM BY AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE,NOW PROFICIENT CLASSICAL GUITAR TEACHER LEONARDO GALLUCCI..
BASICALLY I AM A SELF DIDACT LEARNING BY LISTENING AND PLAYING AND WATCHIN’ HOW THE OTHERS DO (LEARNING WITH EYES…AND SEEING WITH EARS BEFORE THE ERA OF VIDEO COURSES AND TONS OF MUSIC SCHOOLS…).SURELY I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN WITH PEOPLE LIKE THESE,STILL THANKS….
MY CAREER STARTS WITH GIGS IN THE EARLY 80’S IN ROMAN CLUBS SUCH AS MYTHICAL MANUIA ,BIG MAMA TO NAME A FEW, PLAYIN’ WITH TONI CERQUA AND ANDREA OGGIONI IN THE “MENTAL JOB†GROUP .
FROM THE 1985 I WAS A FORMER MEMBER OF THE TOP 40 BAND BROTHER MACHINE WITH MY FRIEND ALFREDO PETROLI AND ALESSIA AQUILANI A.K.A ALEXIA ,MAKING FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS, TONS OF GIGS AROUND NORTHERN ITALY,FRANCE,AND SWITZERLAND.
IN THE SAME TIME, LIKE A CLASSIC WORK-A-HOLIC, I WORKED IN THE DAYS OFF AT GREEN STUDIO IN LA SPEZIA (WONDERFUL TOWN…) AS A SESSION MAN , LEARNING THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION AND RECORDING TECHNOLOGY
( THANK YOU SO MUCH MARIANO!!!).
SINCE THEN I’ VE COLLABORATED NOW AS AN ARRANGER AND..OR COMPOSER ,NOW AS A KEYBOARDIST,NOW AS A BACKING VOCALIST IN TOURS ,TELEVISION AND STUDIO WORKS WITH ARTISTS AND SHOW-BIZ GUYS SUCH CLAUDIO SIMONETTI,AREA 2 ,CLIO’,BOBBY SOLO,ANNA CHIGI,CESARE DE NATALE,MARCELLO ZINI,CARLO BRIANI,PEPPE STRAZZERI,GIANCARLO MEO,UNIVERSO FILM,BARBIERI PRODUZIONI,FILIPPO SALERA ,FABIO TORREGROSSA,SERGIO CAMMARIERE,ALEX BRITTI,CLAUDIO REGO,DONATELLA RETTORE,ROBERTO MEZZETTI,ANONIMO ITALIANO,RAI TRADE,RIZIERO BIXIO,CARLO AMBROSIO,BERG CAMPOS,ANIMA TRIBAL TO NAME A FEW… (FOR DETAILS GO TO WWW.FABIODOLCI.COM).
MY MAIN INSPIRATION IN MUSIC IS L-I-F-E AND HUMAN BEINGS, BUT TO BE HONEST I WAS VERY INFLUENCED BY CLASSICAL MUSIC, ESPECIALLY J.S.BACH,ROMANTIC MUSIC,G.MALHER ,W.A.MOZART AND MANY OTHERS,
ALL THE 70’S PROG ROCK BANDS,FILM SCORES AND MUSICALS,THE BEATLES ,STEVE HACKETT,PETER GABRIEL, ALL RYTHM AND BLUES AND JAZZ FUSION GROUPS AND SOLOISTS ,MY SECRET PASSION FOR BOSSA NOVA ,
NOT TO MENTION SOME FABULOUS 80’S POP ARTISTS LIKE NIK KERSHAW,GO WEST,THE POLICE,SCRITTI POLITTI ,LEVEL 42,MISTER MISTER, AND THE LIST COULD GO ON AND ON !!!
ACTUALLY I’ VE FINISHED A PROGRESSIVE ALBUM ( BETTER THE WORD PERMISSIVE…),I’M MAKING GIGS,TEACHING AND I’ M GOING TO RECORD A TOTALLY BRAND NEW WORK IN THE JAZZ FUSION AREA WITH MY BROTHER RIZIERO RB BIXIO.
I’ M A STUDIO OWNER AND I CAN COVER SEVERAL NEEDS OF AN ARTIST FROM SONGWRITING,TO ARRANGING AND PREPRODUCING.
