Ryan Paris

Ryan Paris is the stage name of Fabio Roscioli, an Italian singer who came up in Rome. He adopted the name in 1983, the same year he released his debut album and the single that would define his career. That song was 'Dolce Vita,' a synth-driven pop track that became a massive hit across Europe.

While 'Dolce Vita' remains his signature song, Paris released other material throughout the 1980s, including the album 'Modern Times' in 1985. His catalog includes songs like 'Fall in Love' and 'I Wanna Love You Once Again,' which continued in a similar vein of melodic Italian pop. The overwhelming success of his first hit, however, made it a difficult act to follow for his later work.

He is still primarily known for that one international hit, a fact that has shaped his musical identity. The song's title, translating to 'the sweet life,' perfectly captured its upbeat, carefree spirit and cemented its place as an anthem of its era.
