Born in Novara in 1987, he began his career at the age of 14 in the Big Family crew, taking his first steps in the hip hop scene until the publication of his first official album, "Miraggio" (2011), entirely self-produced. Between 2013 and 2016 he released several projects as an artist, both independent and under Doner Music (Big Fish), while one of his songs was published by the American label Mad Decent, marking an unprecedented international recognition for Italian rappers of the time. In the following years he focused on production and artistic development, working with artists such as Entics and Rocco Hunt, for whom he produced two tracks from the album "Signorhunt" (Gold certified). 🌱 In 2018 he founded AAR Music, initially a YouTube channel and then a record label and management company, with the aim of discovering, training and growing new talents. In this journey he contributed to the development of artists such as Madame, Yem, Leon Faun and gIANMARIA. Among the most relevant productions: • 🏆 "Sciccherie" – Madame (Platinum certified) • 🏆 "Lucid Eyes" – Leon Faun (Gold certified, co-production and writing with Duffy) In recent years he has dedicated himself to the growth of the AAR Music catalog and the formation of a structured A&R team, growing professionals such as Antonio Pace and following new projects including Promessa, Ceejay, Mated and many others. 💬 What you can get from the call with me During the consultancy we will work concretely and strategically on: • Art direction and positioning • Production and quality of the project • Release and market strategy • label, distribution and scouting dynamics • Realistic next steps for your career No fluff, no shortcuts: a direct confrontation with those who work every day in the music industry, designed for artists and producers who want to get serious.

BEFORE BOOKING READ WELL! 😊 I deal with record production and I founded Petricore, a company that deals with discography (Petricore Sounds), live productions (Petricore Live) and production studio (Petricore Studio). I have a lot of experience in the live and production world. I have worked with artists such as Klaus Noir, Morgan, Gionnyscandal, Tredici Pietro, Lil Busso, Möly, Chadia Rodriguez, I have done two Sanremo in competition with Morgan. I have produced and followed the production direction or artistic direction for many live shows in festivals such as Rock In Roma, MI AMI, Poplar, Goa Boa, Arena di Verona and many others. My discography of the songs I have written and/or produced is around 275 songs for a total of about 20 million streams. If you want to work with me, book a call! I ask you the kindness to arrive prepared on these issues: - How much time/money are you willing to invest? - How well do you know the music industry? - Do you already have a project for your project? - How much are you willing to compromise? ✅WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU: - Produce singles/EPs/albums - Advice on record releases/production plans - Art direction - Editions and rights management - Distribution ❌WHAT I DON'T DO: - I can't find live dates, I produce the dates, I'M NOT a booking - I don't fund emerging projects that have never worked with me or my studio team - I can't give advice on how to get into editorial playlists or give you a reason why you don't play or tour, it's a matter of planning I strongly believe that the first person at the world that must invest in you, is yourself, otherwise why should others? ! !️ DON'T CALL ME TO ASK ME TO EVALUATE YOU TO GET ON MY LABEL'S ROSTER, we have modes dedicated to that.

A&R+4

My name is Francesca Pogliano and my journey in the world of music began at a very young age, when I started collaborating with some web radios as a music critic. In 2010 I created my critique blog, a free and personal space in which I talked about emerging music and the projects that most struck me for their writing, authenticity and vision. Shortly after, I started working as a manager for several emerging bands, accompanying them in their artistic and professional path, including live, productions and promotion. Today I am the manager of the singer-songwriter Ciaro and I am part of the Almae Music Label as a manager. I take care of the strategy, development and communication of the artists, with an eye always attentive to artistic coherence and connection with the public.
