EspañolALEXIA (ITALIAN SINGER)
(Redirected from Alexia (Italian))
'Alexia', byname of 'Alessia Aquilani' (born May 19, 1967) is an Italian singer. She had several international hits in English in the late 1990s before recording in Italian in the 2000s.
Alexia was born in La Spezia, Liguria.
She started working for Italian producer Roberto Zanetti (better known as Robyx) in 1990, as a back-up singer to several of Zanetti's eurodance acts, including Double You and Ice MC. In 1994, the whole world danced with the songs ''Think About the Way'', which was later included in the soundtrack of the movie Trainspotting, ''It's a Rainy Day'' and ''Russian Roulette''. In 1995 she had her first solo single, ''Me and You'', on Zanetti's label, ZYX Music. This was followed by a variety of singles which were collected, along with original tracks, in her first album, ''Fan Club'', published in 1997 by Sony Music's subsidiary Dance Pool. ''Summer is Crazy'', ''Number One'' and ''Uh La La La'' are the most popular tracks from this album.
In her second album, ''The Party'', Alexia started moving from eurodance to pop music. The most successful song, ''The Music I Like'', is a clear eurodance track though. ''Happy'' is the title of her third album.
In 2002, she abandoned eurodance and started singing almost exclusively in Italian. She made her first appearance at the Sanremo Music Festival in 2002, coming second with ''Dimmi Come'', and returned the following year, winning with "Per Dire di No".
In Italy, her greatest successful album was 2004's ''Gli Occhi Grandi Della Luna'' which features the international hit ''You Need Love'' written by Diane Warren.
Alexia has sold over 5 000 000 albums worldwide.
In October 2005, Alexia married Andrea Camerana and in February 2007 they had their first child- a girl named Maria Vittoria.
A new album is currently being recorded and due for release in the summer of 2007.
