Adriano caught the attention of Producer/Writer Curt Frasca (Avril Lavigne, Ryan Cabrera, o.a.r. ) who in turn invited him, along with his band Thad DeBrock (East Village Opera Company, Nelly), Doug Yowell (Duncan Sheik, Suzanne Vega, Sophie B. Hawkins) and Jeff Allen (Duncan Sheik, Suzanne Vega) to his NYC studios to record new material. Those Curt Frasca produced recordings can be heard online here at Adriano's MySpace page and also on his website www.adrianoschiavo.com .
