: Artistopia Interview with ANTONIO Bruno&bellitamburi Q. At what age did you realize you wanted to become a music artist and why? My love for music starts when I have 5 years.. My big brother gift to my one guitar with 3 broken strings…. After private studies at 15 starts my career with Antonio Infantino (big little lucky) and I play my first concerts.After I plays with so much artists, very importants In Italy. I plays also in Rio de Janeiro with great beth Carvalho ANSWER HERE Q. Most music artists have that special someone or thing that influenced their decision to do music. Did anyone or something in your life play a major role in influencing you to go into the music business? I think big musicians (better composers) presents here in the South of Italy are for me the real way in the music, because the music, the composition and all around this things, are not just write music. The philosophy, the research and many others are the ways in music, in all times. ANSWER HERE Q. In terms of the music, which major artist(s) influenced your style and why? My influences are in the pop Italian music (Infantino, I Cantori di Carpino and many others) , in the jazz (I love so much Miles Davis, Gillespie, Monk and Mingus) , also weather report by the magnificent couple Zawinul-Shorter, ecc….. Great influence on me also “the Neapolitan power”, with Pino Daniele, Tony Esposito (I play so much with him in concert), Edoardo Bennato, James Senese, Joe Amoruso, all great italian musicians . ANSWER HERE Q. With so many independent artists trying to make it, what makes you stand out from the competition? This is a real difficult question. I’m a professional musicin, I play my bass and my voice with great Italian musicians, is financially important for me. I play also my concerts with bellitamburi, and everytimes I’m searching new situation, manager, concert producer for recording my music, for my promotion. Danza e ridanza was a work for a Tuscany studio, “StudioLab”, for a audio engineering school: Today, is very difficult to sell your cd and no money is for recording…. ANSWER HERE Q. Music industry professionals are quick to say that being an artist means to gracefully fit a marketable niche in the industry. If you were offered an opportunity that asked you to be something you are not, would you do it to get your foot in the door? I Know, because when I play the Italian folkmusic, is a niche music, is important to record to much for commerce and for to people knows your music, and for to play much concerts. The concerts are the real money intro for musicians. The promotion are important, very important for to leave a Artist. Is very difficult to be listen by producers, and I write so much in the web, I send so much cd for my promotion. ANSWER HERE Q. Making music is one thing, selling it is another. What types of strategies do you use in promoting your artistic work and getting it heard by the proper professionals? I write to world, to meet professional persons in biz, other singers, musicians ecc.. (please excuse me for my bad English and if I don’t understand 100% the sense of all phrases…..) I think is important to export your music out of your little circle, in concerts in contacs with professional people in this sector. But is real difficult, because in Italy the producer don’t listen new artists and music, I alk with many producers, but this people, now don’t love the new things, the new ways..
