About Me
Alessandro, aka Dj Baro, was born in Rome in 1975. Initially a break-dancer, in the early part of the 90s his friendship and artistic collaboration with Italian b-boying pioneer Massimo Colonna, Crash Kid, played an essential role in his artistic, and personal formation. Throughout this period of time he gained a vast experience traveling and participating in B-Boy conventions, and jams throughout Europe. This series of events led to the creation of the crew in which he was, and still is, a central member; Rome Zoo. Along with his crew, he organized and promoted Italian hip-hop culture through memorable events, concerts, and jams. In 1996 his proximity and natural passion for music brought him to make the important change from b-boying to djing. Thanks to his total dedication, and help from fellow crewmembers such as Dj Stile, Roman dj/producer(ALIEN ARMY,FRANKIE HI NRG, NEFFA), Dj Baro shortly became one of the most talented upcoming turntabilists in Rome, and in Italy. In 1998 he began to collaborate with one of the best hip hop groups in Italy, Colle Der Fomento, also Rome Zoo members, and participates artistically, scratching on some of the tracks from the groups second album, 'Scienza Doppia H In 1999 he becomes the groups official dj, and participates in a series of sold-out tours around Italy, which provide him with the opportunity to show his skills to a vast audience. Having proved himself as a talented turntabilist, Dj Baro starts to promote his own dj-set. Able to provide both technical and more dance-friendly routines he djs a great deal, becoming one of the most sought after hip hop djs in the country. At the same time he releases mix-tapes in collaboration with Dj Stile which today are considered underground classics: Rome Zoo Djs Vol.1, 6 Piedi Sotto, & Rome Zoo Djs Vol.2. Dj Baro also collaborates with other Italian mcs djs and producers including: CorVeleno, Frankie Hi Nrg, Esa and Gente Guasta, DjGengis, WiskBeats, Dj Double S, Sparo aka Il Turco, Assalti Frontali, LittleTonyNegri, Bonnot, Stabbyoboy, Amir, Gufo, Ice One, Brusco... In the year 2000 he, along with other members of his crew, hosts a number of successful programs for major radio stations in Italy, promoting the real hip hop culture, attempting to bring the Italian public one step closer to the music which he loves. Currently Dj Baro is in the production stage of his group's third album ( ANIMA E GHIACCIO - COLLEDERFOMENTO 2007 ).
