Working With Eros Ramazzotti

Eros Ramazzotti

As you know, I've been called to work with some amazing artists even ones from afar. Eros Ramazzotti is an Italian musician and singer-songwriter. Eros is enormously popular in Italy and is well known in most non-English European countries and in the Spanish-speaking world. Most of Eros albums were released in both Italian and Spanish.

Since 1984, Eros Ramazzotti has released 11 studio albums, one EP, three compilation albums, three live albums and 37 singles. Eros has sold over 40 million records in his 25-year career.

Studio Album By Eros

I got the call to first work with Eros back in 1996. I was asked to put together some singers for a very famous Italian artist. I called Jim Gilstrap, Alex Brown and Lynn Davis. The producer was very pleased with our work and have called us to do other projects with Eros since then over the years.

Many famous artists from around the world come to the United States to work with American Musicians and singers. This is how I first met, Anri from Japan, and Amaia Montero from Spain. The same producer that produced one of Eros Ramazzotti's albums also produced Amaia Montero's first album, that's how we were able to work with her. 

We always recorded Eros's albums at the old A&M Recording Studios. This is since been bought out by Jim Hensen Productions and is now called Hensen Studios. We still record Eros projects at this studio.

Usually we would work for about 2-3 days putting the backgrounds on Eros Ramazzotti projects. When we first started working with Eros, his producer would always order lunch from this FABULOUS Italian restaurant here in Los Angeles. It's sad that it took someone from Italy to introduce us to a fabulous Italian restaurant right here in our own backyard.

It's always a pleasant recording session, we always have fun. We usually don't sing a lot of Italian words, some, but mainly we're singing 'oohhhss'.

Unless you're from Italy most people here in the United States are not familiar with Eros Ramazzotti's music. All together we have recorded about 4 of Eros Ramazzotti's projects.

Eros doesn't speak any English so we're usually working with the producer that can convey some of Eros musical ideas to us. Even though he doesn't speak English, nor we Italian he's always happy to see us.

The last time we worked with Eros was about 3 years ago. We enjoy his music, the recording sessions and we always enjoy working with Eros Ramazzotti.
