Italian singer/actor Massimo Di Cataldo got involved in music after finishing high school, joining different local bands. He came in fourth place at Castrocaro's Festival in 1993, and soon signed to Sony Music. A year later, after participating in the Festival of San Remo with "Che Sará Di Me," his debut album, Siamo Nati Liberi, was released, as was a Spanish version called Libres Como el Viento. In 1996, Di Cataldo was voted Singer Revelation of the Year, and released Anime and its Spanish version, Con el Alma, that same year. ~ Drago Bonacich
