Diego Esposito
Singer-songwriter born in 1986, Tuscan by chance, the Campania parents left Naples in search of a future and stopped by chance in Castelfiorentino, from which they have never left. In 2006 Diego moved from Milan, enrolling and graduating from MAS (music - arts & show), realizing more clearly his authorial inclination, deepening the study of guitar, piano and vocal technique. His writing is sugar and lemon between his teeth, sweet and sour and genuine, like the gestures of the past, like when with a smile he asked the neighbor for bread. An effective and simple language, full of fresh flashes that contaminate its essence, it loves to rediscover the quality and beauty of a certain Italian melody, something that our musical panorama has perhaps lost today. He translates his experiences and influences into music, ranging from Lucio Dalla to Damien Rice, from the Tuscan sun, to the illusions of independence of the gray Milanese suburbs, and of that everything and much more that each of us passes through life. For years he has performed live daily in small-medium contexts, a finalist several times at Musicultura and Sanremo Lab collaborates as an author with Paolo Lagosta and Lenny De Luca at the Lagosta Bross studio.
