The story behind
Xdono, according to DoReSol
The song Xdono is taken from the debut album of Tiziano Ferro, titled Rosso relativo in its Italian version, or Rojo relativo if we're talking about the Spanish edition. This initial single from the project had such a positive reception and generated such significant sales that it surprised the artist himself, prompting him to also explore the Spanish-speaking market. In fact, it was after the release of his first Spanish single, Perdona, that he achieved a gold record. However, it was with Alucinado that the album consolidated its success, reaching platinum certification in Mexico.
Tiziano Ferro's career dates back to his birth in Latina, Italy, in 1980. His first contact with music occurred at the age of five, when he received a small toy keyboard. From a very young age, he began composing his own songs, creating the foundations with simple resources and recording them with a tape recorder. In fact, two of these early compositions, created at the age of seven, were included at the end of his album Nessuno è solo. During his adolescence, Tiziano went through difficult times, dealing with shyness and bulimia, which led him to gain weight. Music became his refuge, and he enrolled in private lessons for guitar, singing, piano, and drums. In 1996, at the age of sixteen, he joined the Latina Gospel Choir, where he developed a deep connection with the rhythms and atmospheres of African-American music. That same year, and until 1997, he also took a distance course to become a film announcer and began collaborating as a voice-over artist on some local radio stations. His participation as a contestant on the television show Caccia alla frase on Italia 1 gave him a brief opportunity to perform, although the presenter Peppe Quintale dismissed him regarding his aspirations to be a singer. Despite this, Tiziano persisted, and in 1997 he enrolled in the Accademia della Canzone of Sanremo, with an eye on the 1998 Sanremo Festival.
