Eros Ramazzotti

Son of Rodolfo Ramazzotti and Raffaella Molina, Eros was raised in Rome in the Cinecittà neighborhood. Since his teens he showed a natural passion for music and tried for admittance to the Music Conservatory, but he failed the evaluation. Mastering the guitar, Eros taught his skills in playing and singing. In 1981, he participated in the Castrocaro Festival with the song 'Rock 80'. The beginning of his musical career occurred when he launched his first album 'La Drogueria di Drugolo' (with DDD records), signed his first contract and moved to Milan. In 1982 his first 45 rpm single, 'Ad un Amico', was introduced. In 1984, Eros participated for the first time in the San Remo Festival and won that contest with his song 'Terra Promessa'. In 1985 he participated once again and was placed sixth. The following year, a third participation in the same event gave Eros the victory in the principal category with 'Adesso Tu'. Next, his second album 'Nuovi Eroi' was launched. In 1987, the third one came as 'In Certi Momenti', which raised him to the top in Europe. 'Musica È', his fourth album came in 1988. Two years later 'In Ogni Senso' with its song 'Cantico' was launched. Eros toured almost all over the world. In 1993, his new album 'Tutte Storie' was introduced. Eros quit DDD records and founded his own record company, 'Radiorama'. In May 1996 he launched his first production 'Dove c'è Musica', completely from his own inspiration. Some months later, his wife, Swiss model Michelle Hunziker gave birth to their daughter, Aurora, in Lugano, Switzerland. Awarded Best Music Video in 2002 for his song "Per me Per sempre" directed by Paolo Scarfò.
