Marc Fruttero

Marc's first appearence was as a composer of music for solo piano, in the late '70s, when some of his pieces in Classical / Neo-Romantic style were carried out in a local school. A few years later, Marc went to Pop music with the single "Clara". Then Dance music; In 1984 the first version of "Darkness" was recorded at Minirec Studio in Turin. "Aquarius" was a name originally created for a band consisting of Marc and some other musicians, but eventually turned into a "a recording project" whose musicians changed depending on the songs. In 1985, "Darkness" was partially re-arranged and mixed again at the Airport Studio in Milan. The following year it was released by the Pentagramma label with a few other songs, including a duet with one of Giorgio Gaslini's jazz vocalists; Francesca Oliveri.

Always in the 80s, before the Aquarius project, Marc performed jazz concerts in Parma, Italy. Marc's style has been influenced by the American and British Pop / Dance music, that he has always loved. The vocals were (and still are) very important to him, preferring American and British vocal styles, although the arrangements of his tracks were clearly typical of Italian Dance music of the 80's (now commonly referred as "Italodisco").

He has mainly produced songs to satisfy his passion for music.

In 2004, as part of the Italian 80s Dance music revival, Marc started a cooperation with the Finnish label Flashback Records. In the spring of 2005 the vinyl maxi-single "I Wanna Live with You" was released.

This was followed by other singles for the same Flashback Records, including the song "Disco Silvia", well known by the Nu Disco / Italodisco fans around the world, especially in Mexico and Poland. The last vinyl single "Hero," also in the Nu Disco style, was released in the Netherlands during the winter of 2013. In addition to the vinyl singles, Marc has released several songs on CD compilations, with independent labels such as the Polish 4EverMusic (distributed by Universal), Space Sound Records from New York, and the Russian SP Records with whom he is currently working.
