His 1984 international hit defined a sound that's lasted decades.
If you only know 'Self Control,' try 'Il Re' next. It's a good example of how his voice settled into that later, steadier Italian pop sound.
That 'Self Control' single topped charts across Europe and still gets played everywhere. It's a synth-pop moment that feels both of its time and weirdly durable. Later songs like 'Il Re' and 'Malinverno' show he kept writing solid Italian pop long after the spotlight shifted.
He broke out with the 'Self Control' album in 1984. Since then, he's put out records like 'Metamorfosi' in 2004, working with folks like Vasco Rossi and Laura Pausini along the way. His band lineup changed over the years, with Paolo Costa and Maurizio Solieri playing on different albums.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
