Fabien has been a bass-player since 1980, without any real singing experience he only played with a couple of bands, when his brother Paul and his friend Francesco convinced him to join the band they were going to form. In 1986 Fabien begins to sing for his first time in that band called "the Yourp! Group": they played their stuff all around the country meeting names such as the Blues Brothers Band and Mr. Ray Charles and many other big blues artists. They recorded the CD "Covers 2 covers" in 1997.
In the meantime Fabien finds new success in Japan, and he becomes one of the most famous singers of a new kind of music called "Eurobeat". The Japanese young audience is crazy for his voice and his fantastic shows. He performes in Tokyo at Welfarre, at Yoyogi Gymnasium Stadium, at Fuji, at Yokohama and many other places around Japan.
Then Fabien joins a band called "September Groove", he performes for 10 years and records two albums, in 2003 "Play that sound" containing 3 original songs wrote by Fabien and a couple of hits 70-80's, and in 2007 "Funk therapy" entirely wrote by Fabien and Alberto Benati (Ridillo / FunkLab Music).
Now Fabien feels brand-new, he performs with his new band called "the Elite Generation" and the music they play is completely new. New people, new world: new mood.
