Southern Edge

Cristiano Contin

Producer+4

I founded the RESPECT SoulBand which represent the most recent project of my career which began in 1988 after studying modern singing, piano and composition at the CIM in Verona. I started by writing songs inspired by the big names of Italian songwriting but with a markedly Blues matrix, a recurring and recognizable element from the veiled melancholy often perceptible in my lyrics and in the color of my voice. In my career I have held various roles in the show business sector including record producer (Exentia Records) and artistic director of clubs and events such as Erbezzo Sound (2015-17) and Verona Funky (2016-18). In 2021 I published a blog on the funkymove.it network in which I deal with insights and new trends in the world of R'n'B, Soul, Jazz and Songwriting Music. I am a teacher of Modern Singing at the Onemusic Academy in Lugagnano VR and I carry out an intense activity as an arranger, music producer, mixing and Mastering with Pro Tools.
