Full Eros Ramazzotti Biography
Eros Ramazzotti (born on October 28, 1963), is one of the most successful Italian singers and songwriters of all time. Ramazzotti is well known not only in most non English-speaking European countries but also in most of the Spanish-speaking world as he has released most of his albums in both Italian and Spanish.
Eros Ramazzotti was born in Cinecittà, suburb of Rome, Italy the son of a housepainter. At an early age Eros would occasionally appear as an extra in films while spending most of his time dreaming of having a career as a pop star. He would write songs with help from his father Rodolfo, during which time he decided to attend a musical conservatory but instead ended up taking a training program for a book-keeper, after failing the admission examination. However, this did not last long as all he could think about was music.
Ramazzotti's first single "Ad Un Amico" appeared in 1982; however, success failed to come at this time. Soon after Eros met his mentor Renato Brioschi, who helped the young artist find his first success as in 1984 he took part at the popular San Remo Festival with his song "Terra Promessa" and won the competition for the category of "Newcomer". The song's triumph drove Eros's career to take off as it was released Europe-wide.
At this time Eros could almost see himself as what he once could only dream of. His second album Nuovi Eroi was released in 1986, and one of his most memorable singles ever "Adesso Tu" was performed at San Remo Festival where Ramazzotti won again.
The fifth album entitled In Ogni Senso, released in April of 1990, attracted more than two hundred journalists from around the world who attended the press conference of the album's presentation in Venice. An American record producer Clive Davis amazed by Eros's talent advised him to hold a concert at the Radio City Music Hall in New York city. Ramazzotti turned out to be the first Italian artist to perform at the renowned concert hall before a huge sell-out crowd.
In 1993 he released his Tutte Storie, and besides Europe he also toured in 15 Latin American countries (where he's been releasing his albums in Spanish). The album Tutte Storie, which sold 6 million copies world-wide turned the year 1994 into a golden year for Ramazzotti as he got his contract with BMG International.
In October of 1997 Ramazzotti's Eros – Greatest Hits CD appeared, a record which contained two unreleased tracks up to now "Quanto Amore Sei" and "Ancora Un Minuto Di Sole" as well as several previous hits in a reworked format including "Musica è" (duet with Andrea Bocelli) and "Cose Della Vita-Can’t Stop Thinking Of You" (duet with Tina Turner). The collection of his hits went on selling well over 7 million units world-wide emphasizing once again how beloved the Italian pop-star is without even appearing in the charts of any English-speaking nation.
Ramazzotti gained reputation of a recognized producer when he produced the album Come Fa Bene L’Amore for Gianni Morandi in the beginning of 2000. In the October of the same year Eros made a come back with his eighth album Stilelibero, which contained a duet with the American diva Cher in the song "Più Che Puoi". The album was a result of a collaboration of internationally renowned producers such as Celso Valli, Claudio Guidetti, Trevor Horn and Rick Nowels. In the course of the international tour for Stilelibero, Eros also appeared in eastern European counties including Moscow, Russia where he gave two-day sold out concerts at Kremlin Palace.
On May 30, 2003 the longawaited ninth album arrived in stores which was also titled as 9. The first single "Un’Emozione Per Sempre" was released on May 9th which quickly climbed all the way to the top and stayed at no. 1 position in Italy's official single chart for nine consecutive weeks. The album produced along with Claudio Guidetti and Eros’s longtime musical friend Celso Valli perched at no. 1 position for fourteen weeks in Italy's official album chart. The 9 went on selling 3.5 million copies, 1.1 million of which were sold in Italy alone.
In November 2005, his 10th album Calma Apparente was released, which he produced together with Claudio Guidetti. This album contains the European hit single "I Belong to You", a duet with Anastacia.
After more than ten years from Ramazzotti's last complition album Eros which has sold well over 7.5 million copies world-wide and has reached no. 1 in many countries including Germany's Media Control album chart, the Italian superstar released a new double CD compilation album e² on October 26th, 2007, which contains 17 original-hits (14 of which are remastered in their original version) and 4 new tracks. Among the four unreleased pieces in the e² album, there is a new international duet "Non Siamo Soli" which Eros sings along with Latin pop star Ricky Martin. This is the first single off the album which appeared in the music stores starting October 5th. The single available both in Italian and Spanish is written by Ramazzotti and his longtime songwriting partner Claudio Guidetti. |
