In 1979, he released a second album, Non siamo mica gli americani ('It's Not Like We Are American'), which included, 'Albachiara', one of his biggest hits, and a ballad considered emblematic of Rossi?s poetic style. In the meantime he supported himself by working as a DJ and founding, along with friends, one of the first private radio stations in Italy, 'Punto Radio', with which he began slowly and timidly showcasing his own songs.Įncouraged by his friend Gaetano Curreri (now leading member of Stadio), Rossi released his first EP on June 13, 1977, which included the songs 'Jenny Φ pazza' (Jenny is Crazy) and ?Silvia', and a full-length album in 1978, Ma cosa vuoi che sia una canzone. Upon graduating he opened a music club, Punto Club, and enrolled in university at the faculty of Economics and Commerce, and later Education. Rossi and his family moved to Bologna, Italy, where he studied accounting in high school. Nonetheless, Rossi fell in love with music and at the age of 14 began playing with his first band.
It was his mother herself who decided to enroll him in singing school when he was a small boy, a choice that must have seemed rather peculiar within the mentality of a small village in the Apennines like Zocca. His father, Carlo Rossi, was a truck-driver, and his mother, Novella, a famous housewife. Rossi was born in Zocca, in the province of Modena (Emilia-Romagna). He calls himself a 'provoca(u)tore' (an Italian portmanteau for 'provoking author') as throughout his career he has been regularly criticized over his choice of lifestyle and the lyrics in his songs. During his 25-year career, he has published 21 albums (including live and collection discs) and has written some 130 songs, as well as lyrics for other artists. Vasco Rossi (born February 7, 1952) is an Italian singer-songwriter.
