Andrea Petrucci was born in Ascoli Piceno, he moved to Milan in October 2006 to fully experience his creativity as a singer-composer. 
The passion for music explodes precociously in Andrea when, at the age of just 7, he was literally struck by a journalistic report on the studio recording of the album Barcelona by the great Freddie Mercury and the opera singer Montserrat Caballe'. From that moment Queen will become the soundtrack of childhood and adolescence.
The need to sing already manifests itself at the age of 17, when he begins to express himself with various bands that allow him to accumulate a good live experience and participate in numerous local and national events, immediately earning the appointment of charismatic leader. Together with a friend, for pure fun, he forms a coverband of Litfiba, a group he has always appreciated, first called Cangaçeiro and later Cornocuore, with which he has the opportunity to perform in the first small tours, playing in numerous pubs, square festivals and shop openings.

In 2004 Andrea took part in the gathering of Piero Pelù's fan club at the Tenax in Florence, where he had the opportunity to highlight his skills in a short singing performance which Piero himself was enthusiastic about. Not content with playing only covers, in parallel with the experience with the tribute he begins to write new songs and with his friend Cristian Regnicoli begins a long collaboration of unreleased songs.
In the same year Andrea participates as a soloist in important competitions such as Mia Martini Proposte Europee, Onebap Music Festival, Vocidomani, Vocinuove, always obtaining excellent placements and coming into contact with the musician from Ascoli Saturnino Celani who becomes his musical Guru and pushes him to propose as a singer-songwriter in the Italian music scene.

In 2005 he was entered by a friend of his surprise at the Music Hope Festival (local competition) and participates with two of his unreleased songs and a new formation. There he also had the opportunity to come into contact with characters of the caliber of Mario Guarini (bassist of Alexia,….) and Saturnino (bassist of Jovanotti), imposing himself as best voice, critics' prize and overall winner. From that moment the two unpublished works will be broadcast continuously on Radio Ascoli.
To the experience of lives and competitions, Andrea combines an adequate study of modern singing also participating in the shows of the music school, which allow him to perform in front of 2500 people. Meanwhile, he dissolves the coverband focusing on his unpublished works. 
 

The year 2006 is crucial for his career: strengthened by the advice of his bassist friend Saturnino and with the determination to achieve his dream of becoming a singer, he packs his bags and leaves for Milan.
Although the beginnings in the big metropolis are not easy and require great sacrifices, Andrea manages to settle permanently in Milan and comes into contact with one of the best teachers in the sector. He privately studied the singing techniques of Speech Level Singing and then resumed performing with some local bands that gave him the opportunity to expand his repertoire, ranging from different musical genres, from pop rock to prog rock/metal to new metal._cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_
