Thanks for joining us today. Where are you writing to us from, and what have you been up to over the last few weeks?
Thanks a lot for connecting with me, guys. It is a pleasure for me to join you; I’m writing from Tulum now in Mexico.
In the last few weeks, I’ve constantly worked on my project, playing around and spending time with my son.
Tell us about your journey into music and what led you to this point.
My musical career started in the middle of the 90s, but I felt completely involved in electronic music energy the first time I saw a DJ playing in a DJ booth (1991). I was only 11 years old when I already had clearly in my head that to be older, want to become a professional DJ, and after so many years, a strong passion and love for the Electronic music and Dance music world gave me the power to keep going without giving up, gave motivation, perseverance and constancy in this long and difficult career.
I started in 1996 to spin some tunes in small clubs in the Balearic islands because I was living there in that period, then moved to Italy again (I was originally born in Italy) where in the north side of the country, I started to play around from Florence,
Bolonia, Riccione, Rimini, etc., are in the most prestigious clubs like Peter Pan (Riccione), Echoes Club (Riccione), Yab (Florence), and many others. In 2003, I started to study electronic music production and sound design, and I was part of it during several years of some music projects that now have a strong reputation all over the planet.
I decided after being on my own to build up my project SAUVAGE BACK; the project started at the beginning with a couple of collaborations with some other producers that gave lots of power and influence to it. as an artist, I’m the only one being part of it. Still, during the last two years, we’ve created a strong backside team working daily to improve it.
For the last four years, I have been a regular guest between Ibiza and Berlin for international events like BALEARIC FREAKS from Berlin and BERLIN MUSIC. Part of the resident DJs of MYSA Mallorca - it was one of the most underground parties for years on the Balearic island.
I released music with labels like Playgroove Recording, Offsite Records, Innocent Music, Mysa Label, Strange Story Records, Hardcutz, and others.
Now, I’m part of the BAMBOLEO RECORDS DJ & Producers crew. It’s great for me and an honour because I have had much influence from the NEVERDOGS label boss. Since the beginning of my career, I’ve been a big fan and supporter of the Italian duo. I feel my sound is a lot identified in the Bamboleo line.
How do you effectively promote yourself as an artist?
I’m slowly creating a team, and each subject is working on a particular aspect of the project. I dedicate lots of time to managing general rules like promoting aspects, PRing, marketing and social media, connecting to the labels and promoters, creating constant music to release and organising the calendar.
Tell us about your latest release.
NO SLEEP EP with Bamboleo Records. It is a sign that SAUVAGE BACK has grown artistically; consider it an excellent upgrade, and my sound has changed to much more powerful, groovy tech.
What has the feedback been like from your latest release?
I’m impressed to see that the public and other artists appreciate the EP. I received in the last days lots of good feedback, and since day 1 of the release, the EP has gone up on Beatport’s top release chart and Hype chart.
How do you take care of your mental health?
I love connecting constantly with nature; I meditate, do sports like running, and exercise outdoors.
Talk us through your creative process.
Feel influenced and motivated by artists like Neverdogs and Sebastian Ledher. I usually feel much more creative when I connect to the environment that transmits the right energy to me, which can be anywhere and any kind.
What advice do you have for other artists?
Always try to keep his own identity, his own sound and originality.
What was your biggest goal for 2023, and did you achieve it?
One was to sign a release with Bamboleo, and I’m already at work to put releases out with other headliners' labels.
Lastly, what can we expect from you in the future?
Bring the SAUVAGE BACK project to the top, gain respect from the industry and, of course the public.
SAUVAGE BACK
