Savage : Last year I released my last song for Alexia, untitled Ti Amo Ti Amo. In this period there was conflict with her, due to the fact she said she wanted to change her style (exactly like Ice MC, Corona and Double You), so I was forced to break off all relations with her. She signed a deal directly with Sony, but I claimed damages. It is always the same story : you pick up an unknown singer from the street, you take him by the end the lead the way... then he says "Goodbye !". The curious thing is that Alexia said she wanted to change her style, she wanted to render herself in more of a melodic style, that could let her singing voice be heard, bla bla bla .... but her new song is in the same style of Robyx productions : same commercial chorus, same dance arrangement. Anyway she had no success anymore!
Last year I was watching the San Remo Festival and I said: "Hey, this band is really cool, they show grit and the young singer has a beautiful voice!". So I realised that the creative moment was arrived and I was really inspired. I had a song on my desk that I composed for Alexia, just before our conflict. This song was very nice and I thought it was suitable for this young band. So I called Caterina Caselli (their manager) and I told her about my idea. She liked the song very much and she said: "OK : www.mipiacitu will be the new single by Gazosa, but I want you to produce the song !". Afterwards, I was in Rome to register the song and I was really impressed about the skill of the young band. The song became one of the most popular songs of this summer.
Zucchero is an old friend of mine. We started our artistic career together, playing with a pop cover band touring discos, dancing music hall, but also village festivals. We live not far one another and we often meet each other at friendly dinners. During one of them, we decided to co-operate to create some songs for his new album. We have a mutual characteristic. I think that Zucchero and I, we still have our feet quite firmly on the ground and the only thing we want to do is to just be able to create something new, some "new" sounds. I'm very proud for the work we have done together.
Today my answer is the same.
I like very much to work like I did this year : a lot of satisfaction !
I would like to write songs for some famous artists and produce them. I'm also considering to find a new young talent.
I took part in NY Marathon two years ago and it was a great experience. Last year and this one I didn't go because I was out of training (and not for other reasons, like fear). Anyway I travelled a lot in Europe for holidays and I'm not really scared about war.
Music is in my blood. I think of myself as being extremely lucky to be able to do what I've done with music. In the past, when I worked hard, it often happened that I had so many different things to do that in the end I didn't have any more time to concentrate on new projects and this maked me a bit stressful. In fact, it was the negative side of my job that I found difficult to accept. I've often been irritable. Now I can work in a new way. It's so peaceful... and I'm still able to get emotional even hearing some Savage's old songs.
Ciao Zeljko.
