Eros Ramazzotti

Biography

Eros Ramazzotti was born into a family of housepainter in Cinecitta, the suburb of Italian capital. In childhood, he dreamt of becoming a pop singer. He wrote songs with the help from his father. Being a teenager Eros tried to enter a musical conservatory, but failed the entrance examination. However, the young man had to help his family and finished a course of bookkeeping. Of cause, he did not manage to work as a bookkeeper for a long time as music was all the guy could think about. In 1981, Eros took part in a musical contest of young talents Voci Nuove di Castrocaro with his own song Rock 80. Ramazzotti became the finalist and received a contract with a new recording label called DDD. He moved to Milan with his relatives and for the initial period had to live in the same building, where the studio was placed. Eros recorded his first single Ad Un Amico in 1982, but the song was not a success. In 1984, he took part in a competition again - this time it was a popular musical show San Remo Festival. The artist became the winner in the category Newcomer. This victory gave a good push to his career.
