Biography
Luca (february 27,
1982) and Diego Fainello (November 27,
1986) are two brothers who were born in an artists' family in
Verona,
Italy. Their father was an artistic photographer and bass guitar player in a band, their mother was a singer and their grandfather, violinist, entrusting to the boys an infallible tool. This formation from house materialized in the Academy of Art of Verona. Luca, being the oldest, was the first one in seriously choosing the music as a way to be continued. His decision in a certain way was the biggest catalyst for Diego, gradually taking him in the same direction. At first they were known under the name
2ttO
when they sung the theme song of the program UFO Baby and that way they published a single called
Grido
. Then more mature, with 24 and 20 years, they change their name into 'Domino' and recorded the song "Come tu mi vuoi", before publishing their first videoclip. They also used to play in bars of their hometown
Verona songs of musicians like
Bryan Adams,
Bon Jovi,
B.B. King,
Dire Straits, between others.
In 2007 an english girl in a tour in
Venice inspired them to write the song
L'amore
, which was produced by Roberto Tini. With this one they entered the Sanremo Festival in 2008 (now with the name
Sonohra
), a contest of Italian music from the city of San Remo in the "giovanni" category and the night of their presentation Sonohra gave a performance as if it was his last spectacle. And before the festival was concluded, the duo brothers turned out to be crowned “Best artist revelation”, giving place to an explosion of popularity difficult to articulate. On February 29, 2008 their album Liberi da sempre was published, sending Luca and Diego in a gigantic tour along Italy.
After winning in the category
Best New Artist
on May 15, 2008 in the
TRL Awards (2008) in Naples, on the following day their second single,of their debut album,
Love Show
was launched. Finally, the third single
Salvami
was published on September 5. The song talks about a good friend that the brothers lost in a traffic accident.
They also won in the categories
Best Band
and
Best New Act
in the italian Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards (for which they did the theme song with
Love Show
changing the lyrics) and in the
MTV Europe Music Awards they were named in the category of Best
Italian Act
.
In November, 2008 their first CD/DVD Live was published with the name
Sweet Home Verona
. It was carried out on September 6 in the Roman Theater. The songs in this CD/DVD are accompanied only by chordophones and violins. The DVD placed them suddenly in the first place of the Italian DVD-Charts and also between the Top 30 of the Album - market forecast.
On March 17, 2009
Libres
was published in
Latin America, the version in spanish of the album
Liberi da sempre
. They made a big effort, since they are only fluent in italian. Recording in Spanish represented a real challenge, forcing them to train and be able to get connected in a vocal and emotional level in a foreign language. The first launched single of the album was
Besos Faciles
, the version in spanish of the song
Love Show
with three Bonus Tracks: L'amore (Italian), Io e te(Italian) and Love Show (English). With this album the duet reached the following positions in the lists of
Latin America:
Costa Rica (#10),
Mexico (#25),
Argentina (#35) and
Chile (#79). For the presentation and promotion of their album they traveled on March 22 to
Latin America and gave concerts in almost all the countries (
Puerto Rico,
Venezuela,
Colombia,
Chile,
Argentina, Mexico, the
United States, between others).
On May 14 they traveled back home to Italy and received in the
TRL Awards 2009 in Trieste (in which they played the version in english of their song
Io e te
) the award in the category
Best Riempipiazza
.
