Adriano Russo

He was born in Rome on August 2, 1979. He began to put his hand to music at the age of three, climbing the piano. However, he approached the guitar at the age of 6 and from there began his journey. The records that circulated at home ranged from Italian author music to Funk, Rhythm & Blues, American jazz. From an early age he felt the need to start experimenting with sound and voice. Over the years he studied classical guitar with maestro Fabrizio Barchi first and Francesco Taranto later. In 1996 he approached the study of electric and jazz by studying at the popular school of Music in Testaccio (Rome) with Maestro Roberto Nicoletti. For a long period he undertook a study in solitude, looking more and more for his personal expressive language in music. He began playing in various local bands. In 2004 he studied with guitarist Nunzio Barraco and in 2006 with Claudio Riggio. He then continues only the study of the instrument, increasing his stylistic knowledge thanks to listening, a fundamental matter, to a lot of music and many guitarists. Currently his studies also extend towards film music and unpublished arrangements in the Pop/Rock and Funk/Soul fields. The voice remains an important component, always accompanied by his faithful guitar, or piano. Rhythm, groove and search for modern sounds, together with the harmonies and melodies closest to his personal history, (the 80s) end up merging into lyrics that he sometimes defines as melancholic, sometimes rhythmic, outlining a rather transversal character both in execution and in writing. The passion for fingerpicking and finger-style acoustic guitar is one of the latest arrivals and is a current subject of study, development of performance techniques and writing. His first single has just been released. ("Let's give ourselves a hug" under the pseudonym of UNARADIO, which can be listened to on the main streaming platforms). He is currently also studying modern composition for strings with maestro Stefano Ciuffi and his interest in arrangement and production became more and more incisive. To date, he likes to define himself as a composer/music producer in a broad and modern sense, a multi-instrumentalist with a deep passion for synths, sound design, orchestrations and soundscapes. Its soul often blends into deep basslines and powerful drum sounds, combined with effective string motifs and indie guitar lines. The color spectrum of the music he produces is the spectrum of his life and soul. The path is still long. But essential for his musical and human training.
