Fabrizio Cammarata

Fabrizio Cammarata grew artistically opening shows for Ben Harper, Patti Smith, Hindi Zahra, Iron & Wine, Villagers, The Paper Kites, and over the years he has performed onstage with Damien Rice and Daniel Johnston. As NME's author Matthew Neale once wrote, Fabrizio’s music is “a complicated beast, never succumbing to misery or revelling in ecstasy, but locating the intersections of both, a beautiful examination of love’s lost corridors.” These songs of love, longing, lights and shadows, are also inspired by the voices of Chavela Vargas, Leonard Cohen, along with Federico García Lorca’s poetry and Wim Wenders's road movies. He shifts through multiple languages, with English as the center of gravity, staying true to his Mediterranean descent, evolving with the musical curiosity of a tireless traveller. He started his solo career in 2016, with the EP “In Your Hands” and two critically acclaimed albums: “Of Shadows” (2017) and “Lights” (2019), both produced by Dani Castelar (Paolo Nutini). In 2017, together with singer-songwriter Dimartino, he released “Un Mondo Raro”, an album dedicated to the late singer Chavela Vargas, for the first time bringing Italy’s attention on the music and the life of the “Mexican Edith Piaf”. As to singing, Fabrizio’s main influences are mostly women who used their voice against injustice, oppression and sadness: next to Vargas he enlists Rosa Balistreri, Lhasa de Sela and Flamenco’s “cantaoras” among the artists that helped him shape his performance style. The new single “Stripped To The Bone" was released on April 21, 2023. The new album is set to be released on March 22, 2024.
