Real name? Alessandro Biriaco
Age? 22
When and why did you begin to produce music?
I started very young studyin' the piano, at 17 I've discovered the
"DANCEFLOOR MUSIC WORLD" so I started writing songs and listening to
European Dance Music (Hands Up), I've been a DJ for a very short time
and after that I've chosen the PRODUCTION WAY as my Main Activity in
Music, because I love to Communicate with people Through the Music: is
like telling a little story that comes from my life or from my
fantasy
Music is a little way out from our (confused) world!
What music styles are you listening to other than what you produce?
I love Rock (from the pop influenced to the hardest style)
Who is/are you favorite artist(s)?
In my style: DJ MANIAN, JENS O., DUNE
Out of My style: Lucio Battisti, Depeche Mode, Il Nucleo, Franco
Califano and many more.....
What do you think is the future for Italo Dance music?
Actually in Italy there is a BIG MESS (In all styles and not only in
Music), I think that the problem is the ITALO CULTURE that actually
is lost.
Italo dance Music never had problems and don't have them now
In Italy there are good Italodance artist that are workin' hard, the
real problem is that Italian people are more interested in "fashion"
and don't care about the essence.
But things are changing again, so there is always a Hope
In the rest of Europe everything gose fine, Italo dance Music is very
appreciated as Hands Up or House Music are. (This is what I see)
What do you like to do on your spare time?
I love to Read & Write Sci-Fi Novels (Philip K. Dick is my
favourite). Writing is my "other activity", I'm actually workin' on
my first BIG NOVEL PROJECT.
I love also Theatre (In particular Luigi Pirandello and Shakespear),
Sci-Fi Cinema (Old style like Solaris or 2001).
And I love the MYST SAGA (Rand Miller is a Genius)
What are your plans for the future? style, project etc.
Always goin' on and never stop!
I prefer to care about my present style, because it will build my
future style.
But the main elements will be always the same ones: Music, Passion,
Communication
What news can you reveal for us about your future productions?
mmm, right now I'm workin on some new collaborations (one is with
Luca Zeta and another one with a "New Continent" Artist )
Of Course all the old & Strong Collaboration will grow up (like the
one with Stefy NRG), and a lot of new projects will start from early
autumn (one of them is PURE ITALO DANCE Y2K STYLE)
And last, but not least, there is my new Chapter in my Main story
(my new single) but before that there will be another surprise (a
prequel to my new single )
Great interview and rich of information. Sander has nice inputs on the music situation!
