The story behind
When Tiziano Ferro released his first album, Rosso relativo, in its Italian version, the impact was such that he himself was surprised by the high sales. This reception encouraged him to explore other markets, and that's how he dared to sing in Spanish. The first single in this new language, Perdona, quickly reached gold status. However, it was with Alucinado that the album achieved platinum certification in Mexico, demonstrating the connection his music made with diverse audiences.
Born in Latina in 1980, Tiziano Ferro had his first contact with music at the age of five thanks to a small toy keyboard. From a very young age, he began composing his own songs, recording the basic tracks with a simple recorder. In fact, two songs created at the age of seven ended up being part of his album Nessuno è solo. During his adolescence, he faced personal difficulties such as shyness and bulimia, finding refuge in music. He dedicated himself to taking private lessons in guitar, singing, piano, and drums. In 1996, at the age of sixteen, he joined the Latina Gospel Choir, where he developed a great interest in the rhythms of African-American music. In the same year and the following one, he also participated in a voice acting course and collaborated as a voice-over artist on local radio stations. His path led him to appear on the television program Caccia alla frase, where, despite having a brief slot to sing, he received dismissive comments about his potential as an artist. However, this did not stop him, and in 1997 he enrolled in the Accademia della Canzone di Sanremo, with his sights set on the 1998 Sanremo Festival.
