OUTSIDE ITALY

Mario Biondi became famous outside of Italy when he opened some concerts of international artists, most notably Ray Charles. He later published in Japan the single "This is what you are", that reaches Norman Jay, famous dj for BBC1, who introduces the piece across Europe. Biondi’s popularity on a global scale is enhanced by international collaborations, such as the one with Bluey, leader of Incognito, and Chaka Khan. Excellent feedback from abroad also comes with the album "Two (With the Unexpected Glimpses)" released in 2011. During the same year and throughout 2012 Biondi participated in numerous jazz festivals in Europe. The "Sun Tour" will make a stop in Milan and Switzerland, in Ascona on June 23.
