Lorenzo is a singer, songwriter and producer from Modena, Italy.

His vocal style, rooted in alternative rock, blends into electronic, indie-pop, and cinematic genres.

He started playing guitar at 11 years old, studied music and singing for years, and spent most of his early adulthood performing live. However, with the arrival of COVID, Lorenzo realized that his true passion lies in creating – music and not only. He started working for a small innovative startup, while exploring music production and the big world behind crafting music.

A few years later, after the important achievement of a successful startup exit, Lorenzo had the opportunity to focus more on music, carrying with him the important lesson that passionate work and real relationships are the true engines behind success.

Today, Lorenzo’s focus is simple: freedom, as the perfect balance of time, passion and money. He is dedicated to sync licensing and music production, creating songs that challenge norms, tell authentic stories, and spark new thoughts. For Lorenzo, it's never been about fame or numbers – it's about creating something real and meaningful, and keep having fun with it.
