Early days - Italy 1981-1995

Gaudi's professional career started in 1981 in Italy as a keyboard player in the new-wave band Wild Planet. Two years later he joined electronica band Red Light and following that in 1985 he became a member of Violet Eves, a band with an important role in the Italian underground music scene combining electronica, punk and traditional Italian melodies. Later that same year Gaudi joined the reggae band Bamboo Company who gave him the opportunity to develop his production skills and also increased his music knowledge in what was to become the heart and soul of his style from then on – Reggae music.

Gaudi started to gain recognition in the music underground scene for his production work and began to be approached by other bands for studio production and collaboration work. This included work with ‘The Gang’ (album “Barricada”, 1985) and ‘Disciplinatha’ (album “Abbiamo pazientato 40 anni, ora basta”, 1987).

In 1986 Gaudi and three members of his previous band Bamboo Company formed Raptus, the first Hip Hop band to use Italian lyrics. They released the single “Peggio della colla” with the Indie label Multimedia Attak Punk Records and were subsequently spotted by Italian popstar Vasco Rossi

 and his production team Terryball. Terryball produced the next single but although expectation for the project was high unfortunately exposure was low and the band split.

In 1987 Gaudi began his first solo project as a singer under the name ‘Lele Gaudi’ with the creation of what was to become the first ‘Raggamuffin’ album written in the Italian language. In 1988 the album was finished however record companies were uneasy with the concept of an untried formula and unwilling to take the risk of releasing it. Gaudi spent the next 2 years meeting companies to find an appropriate record deal. During this period he also spent time in Jamaica , testing his project and getting valuable feedback on the quality of his work; it was well received.

Back in Italy, he teamed up with producers Ricky Rinaldi aka ‘Ohm Guru’ and Frank Nemola to form production company ‘Tubi Forti’. Together they produced many indie bands including icons of the Italian hip hop scene ‘Isola Posse All Stars’. This versatile production team also released many dance tunes under different names including: ‘National Rare Groove’, ‘Dr Muff & Crazy Stuff’, ‘4t Thieves’, ‘Etnotechno’ (Gaudi's first experiment using world music with a fusion of Egyptian chants and electro funk).

Two years on from the initial knock-backs Gaudi's signed his first major record deal with Polygram

For his second album ‘Gaudium Magnum’ the tag ‘Lele Gaudi’ became simply Gaudi. The single “ Andavo a 100 all'ora” reached the top 10.

In 1993 Gaudi added his signature to a collaboration with socially conscious popstar Ricky Gianco (well known for his upfront social commentary). The exposure gained from this project, firmly established Gaudi as a household name.

In 1994 Gaudi wrote a vocal Ragga part for the single “ Lei sta con te” for pop singer Francesco Baccini

Pulling together previous influences and flavors Gaudi started experimenting with the Theremin in dub and world music, releasing several tracks under the name ‘Dub Alchemist’.

London - 1995 - present

In 1995 Gaudi made the decision to move to London where access to a growing international and more groundbreaking music industry would allow him to continue to develop both artistically and professionally.

in 1996 Gaudi set up ‘Metatron Studio London’ which is his current creative HQ as well as the production company ‘Sub Signal’ .

Gaudi was also still exploring the frontiers of his field and wrote and produced a concept album “Sound of Anatomy” under the name ‘Ultraviolet Zero’ with Pauli Atzei.

Gaudi had risen to the challenge of re-establishing himself and in November 1996 he reached No.1 in the UK dance chart with his remix of Cool Jack's “ Jus' come” (AM PM Records) - it was released under the project name ‘Terra Terra’, a collaboration between Gaudi and DJ Angelino. This was followed in 1997 with his remix of English indie band ‘Mansun’s’ track “Taxloss” reaching No.15 in the UK Chart and in 1998 his remix of Peter Andre

In September 1999, after receiving 3 gold discs and 1 silver, Gaudi's third album “Earthbound” (Bustin Loose Recordings) was released worldwide. Earthbound contains a mix of influences ranging from Indian ragas to African chanting and from Jamaican chatting to Italian traditional melodies; it’s one unifying factor being the flavors of reggae and dub. The album featured 39 musicians from around the globe, including Jamaican Ragga artist General Levy

Earthbound gave Gaudi worldwide sales recognition and the exposure led to many tracks appearing on various compilations. The album ‘Earthbound in Dub’ was also released later that year on Sub Signal.

In 2000 Gaudi spent time in Africa in Burkina Faso experiencing for himself the lifestyles and culture of the indigenous communities; for Gaudi it was a profound experience personally; his connections with many talented musicians and the subsequent recordings that he made out there were the catalyst for his next album ‘Bass, Sweat & Tears’.

2000 also saw the beginning of an important collaboration between Gaudi and DJ Pathaan, one of the biggest exponents on the World music scene at that time. Together they created ‘Orchestral World Groove’ (OWG), released several tracks for compilations and toured internationally over a four year period with performing at high profile venues world wide and festivals such as Roskilde (Denmark), Skol Beat (Brazil), The Big Chill and Gatecrasher (England).

Aside from a busy schedule of performances, production and writing, 2001 saw Gaudi getting involved in creating music for films. He remixes the title track for the Italian movie “ Luna Rossa ” (music by Dr Cat (musician), Pier Paolo Polcari
