Eros Ramazzotti (born October 28, 1963), is an
Italian singer and songwriter.
Eros was born in the Rome suburb of Cinecittą, the son of a housepainter. He
began his musical career as a teenager, when he moved to Milan. In 1984 he
won the category of "New Voice" in the popular San Remo Festival for his
song "Terra promessa". Ramazzotti released a series of albums, in quick
succession, composed of heartfelt autobiographical ballads as well as
powerful rock tunes, that launched him internationally (he records every
album in Spanish as well as in Italian). He is especially popular in Cuba,
Germany, Mexico, and Argentina, and has sold over 36 million records
worldwide. He has one daughter, Aurora Sophie (born December 5, 1996), with
his ex-wife, Michelle Hunziker, a Swiss model and television host.
In November 2005 his new album, Calma apparente, was released. The current
European hit, I Belong to You, which is a duet with Anastacia, is also
featured on this album. |
