Career
Born Adelmo Buonocore in Naples, he debuted at 20 years old with an auto-produced single "Sferisterio". Put under contract by Radio Corporation of America, he released several albums with a style close to British new wave and synthpop music of the time. The turning point of his career was his participation in the 1987 Sanremo Music Festival with the song "Rossana", which was his first real commercial success and marked a transition towards a more melodic and sophisticated style.
His biggest hit was the 1990 romantic ballad "Scrivimi", a song which was covered in twelve languages and which sond about 4 millions copies.
