Eros Ramazzotti (Eros Luciano Walter Ramazzotti) was born on October 28, 1963, is one of the most successful Italian singers and songwriters of all time.

Ramazzotti's first single Ad Un Amico appeared in 1982; however, the success failed to come at this time. Soon after Eros met his mentor Renato Brioschi, who helped the young artist find his first success as in 1984 he took part at the popular San Remo Festival with his song Terra Promessa and won the competition for the category of "Newcomer".

In 1985, once again Ramazzotti took part at San Remo Festival with his Una Storia Importante, a song from his debut album Cuori Agitati. The single became a huge hit in many European countries including France where it sold a million units alone.

At this time Eros could almost see himself as what he once could only dream of. His second album Nuovi Eroi was released in 1986, and one of his most memorable singles ever Adesso Tu was performed at San Remo Festival where, needless to say, Ramazzotti won again.

On May 30, 2003 the longawaited ninth album arrived in stores which was also titled as 9. The first single Un’Emozione Per Sempre was released on May 9th which quickly climbed all the way to the top and stayed at no. 1 position in Italy's official single chart for nine consecutive weeks.

In November 2005, his latest album Calma Apparente was released, which he produced together with Claudio Guidetti. This album contains the European hit single I Belong to You, a duet with Anastacia.

The new material from Ramazzotti is expected to appear at the stores on the 26th of October, 2007. The album is going to include a duet with a Latin pop star Ricky Martin Non Siamo Soli, the radio broadcasting of which, according to BMG is to begin on the 29th of September, 2007.
