P. Lion : Simply because Happy Children was my first record.
I don't realize that thinking to sold millions of record.
P. Lion is Paolo Pelandi. I was born in June, 29 1959. I started to play
piano and write my own music very early. I think to be very romantic and sometimes
too "dreamer", but I feel the music as a great way to communicate.
P because my full name is Pietro Paolo Pelandi and the lion is the symbol
of my family.
Happy Children was in the top charts in Europe during 84 and 85, the most
in France with Dream too.
The producer of Happy Children was Davide Zambelli, the same of Scotch,
Finzy Contini, etc. After the producer of the first album Springtime was the
label Discomagic, then I was a self producer for some single as Believe
Me and Under The Moon with Durium. In 1995 I realize the album A
Step In The Right Way with FMA and the publisher Allione. Now I'm working
at new songs and music but I don't know if for me or other artis. I like the
most write and arrange. I'm not a real singer.
No label at this time. I've some proposal from a publisher for a project
with Sony, but I haven't decided yet.
You're not wrong. I realized the video for Happy Children and Dream
in Paris 1984. Very professional, director, film and then digital effects, but
all remain in France. Today, after 17 years. I'm searching to get a copy. I've
never seen that finish...!
I collaborate with some musicians as Paolo Costa, Max Costa, Marco Gotti
etc. Great musicians here in Italy.
I think the best was Gazebo. He is the only friends of that age.
I like music from 70’s and 80’s, not necessarily Italo disco. I listen to
all the music that give me sensation.
I meet Gazebo, Den Harrow, Scotch, Righeira, ecc during little concert in
discotheque.
Actually I work as consultant for 2 or 3 days a week, the rest in my studio
composing and working on multimedia project audio, video, internet. I love to
work with Macintosh since 1984, great machines !
I think the speed of marketing don't leave space to feel the music. You
have to produce faster than before and the easy way to do that is to record
remake or "copy" musical phrase from the old hits. I listen lot of old music
in the "new" hits.
I was very surprised to meet young people that loves music from 80's. Probably
for the answer of the previous question !
It was "song" with rhythm. Today dance music is only rhythm.
Not too much. I was for about 4 years in France, Germany, North Europe etc.
Was a nice way to experiments something different from San Remo music and Napoli
and pizza.
No time and no curiosity... I don't like to work with DJ's...
I feel that age as a part of my life.I don't think to be nostalgic. I hope
to have the time to make the Thousands of things I want to do ! No time for
to be nostalgic ! :-)))
I collaborate as arranger on some productions. De Nuevo Tu, Betty Villani.
The album of Tony Sheridan, do you remember Beatles In Hamburg ?
Nothing to change, only some more time in studio for the album Springtime.
Only 20 days.
I divorced in 1990 after 14 years. Now I live with Loredana, her son Massimiliano
of 12 and our son Edoardo of 7, my true love !
Sony wants a new P.Lion project. I want to write new Paolo Pelandi music,
not necessarily for songs, my dream is to write for movies.
I think is important to find the courage to try new musical ways, not only
for money
Many thanks to you and for your patience. © October 2001 Zeljko Vujkovic - All rights reserved |
