He participated in the 38th Sanremo Music Festival in 1988 with the song Voglio vivere in un attimo.
He was first signed to a record company in 1989, with his debut album Sono cose che capitano which went unnoticed thanks to the song Fiore.
His second album, Adagio Biagio, was released two years later.
