[edit] Production Works
Patrizio has recently co-produced with Trevor Horn the song Set the Mood[9], which is the title album track of David Jordan (singer)'s debut album.
He started to arrange at the age of 13, when he was so curious to know how successful producers were creating their sounds, that he started to study arrangements by trying to reproduce tens of successful records, laying down layers of instruments on his old second hand Atari computer. It was 1991.
It wasn't long before he started to collaborate with italian local songwriters, to arrange their songs.
In 1995, only 17 years old, started to arrange for the producer Loris Ceroni, who was working for Mexican artists, such as OV7, Fey, Natalia Lafourcade.
In the year 1998, he met for the first time with the producer/arranger Celso Valli, who amazed of his talent, commissioned him to work on few songs with the songwriter Daniel Nel Grado (Laura Pausini / Nek, Pavarotti).
In 2002 he collaborates as a songwriter/producer on the compilation "Italy plays Fender", for the 40th anniversary of the renowned musical instrument manufacturer, featuring some of the most famous musicians in Italy. In the same year works actively for the ablve mentioned songs, released in Spain from the winners of the spanish's Popstar.
In 2003 he produces 26, a record by Paolo Valli. In the making of this Fusion/Hard Rock album there have been contributions from international musicians of the caliber Matt Bissonette, Greg Bissonette and many others.
Patrizio has arranged or structured many successful italian and spanish songs, such as Resta in Ascolto (Laura Pausini), Escucha Atento (Laura Pausini), Parlami (Laura Pausini), Hablame (Laura Pausini), Parliamo al Singolare (Nek), Hablemos en Pasado (Nek), Domani Verra' (Luciano Pavarotti), Abbracciami (Gianni Morandi). Unfortunately the credits were signed by Celso Valli and Dado Parisini, and Patrizio's works weren't recognized on the albums. Fade up with the italian music system, he decided to move to London, to give to his name and music career a kick to the next level. He wasn't discouraged by the facts that he didn't speak english, nor he knew anyone there. It was 9th April 2003 when he arrived in London with his laptop, keyboard and guitar, hungry for success.
Since then, he had Top 10 Album, in UK, France and Germany and he actively worked with all sorts of artists and genres, from the most overrated to the most amazing ones.
He is credited as producer with Trevor Horn's album, for the song (Set the Mood), which he wrote in December 2003, only few months in his new London life, with David Jordan (singer).
He keeps working on new projects, with new artists, dividing his time by producing, writing and scouting new people through his web-site.
