Fabrizio's first love was surprisingly not music. When he was very young, he wanted to become the Pope! "Because being able to speak so many languages and travelling around is so cool," was his explanation. At the tender age of four, the love for music changed his plans: "I always used to seat by the radio and listen to my father's U.S. Top 40. My father was almost dragging me to dinner, because I fancied more listening to the radio and singing along rather than eating. And that did mean something because as an Italian, I’m supposed to love food!
Fabrizio’s talent did not go unnoticed. At the age of seven he made his first appearance in the nursery school and soon after that in the school choir. Since 1990, he had taken part in various karaoke shows around Europe as a George Michael impersonator. When he was 16, he starred in school musicals and sang in school bands. His first major stage appearance was in 1994 when he sang in the background choir of Barry Manilow!
From 1996 to 1998 he played in the hugely successful musical "The Black Rider", at the “Kammerspiel” theater in Frankfurt. Despite all these successes, Fabrizio spent all his time but not his entire heart and soul into the realization of his dream. The debt - as it should be anyway - is in women! Fabrizio: "At that time I was with my first girlfriend and loved her more than anyone else. Unfortunately, she explained: "If you make it with the music, I´m gonna leave you." When the relationship was then terminated, they had both proved themselves.
In collaboration with the studio "Lock 15" in Frankfurt, FABRIZIO sang in 1998, on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of Goethe, the Goethe official song. With a self-produced demo, which he called "Fabrizio! Hi" wrote that he was at the Frankfurt studio" Jack "- step by step he became one of the best singers in the studio booked throughout Frankfurt Area! This work sparked his interest in songwriting. "I started sitting down with pals together in studios, drinking Earl Grey tea and writing songs," he says. "Someone would just play a riff or a chord progression and I’d come up with a cool melody and lyrics."
So it’s still a bit like that at present. "I play the piano but also set the harmonies. I think composing is a nice, sociable event."
In 2001, he comes back with FAB and the song "Feel Good" hitting the Top 20 of the German Dance Charts.
Music is certainly his life. "I feel the music being simply too intense. When I hear a well produced song, which is not necessarily melancholic, I immediately could burst into tears. This feeling, this love of music inspires and motivates me to go further, "he explains. Sure, he’s had his doubts. Fabrizio: "There was a dark and a light side to me. The dark side said: "Who and why are you doing that?" And the bright side said: "Fabrizio, you´re gonna make it!" Plus: Fabrizio believes in fate! "10 years ago, a fortune-teller who read my hand said: "Fabrizio, you are an artist. I can see that there’s going to be a drastic change in your life within the next two to three years. Your life will change dramatically" Throughout 2002, “I waited and waited but nothing happened" he says, laughing. But in 2003 he finally had his big chance: Fabrizio auditioned for "Popstars - the Duel". His talent, his perseverance, his will and discipline were rewarded! Even though the Italian was not a member of the Popstars band OVERGROUND was - he managed to get a record deal as a solo artist with Universal Music! "Turns out the fortune-teller was probably right! Now, after three years, my life has changed drastically, "he says, smiling.
