Biography

Piero Campi è un cantautore italiano nato a Taranto ma da anni attivo nella scena musicale bolognese. La musica rappresenta il suo linguaggio naturale, lo strumento attraverso cui osserva e racconta il mondo. Dopo gli esordi con la band Dharma, protagonista della scena pugliese e vincitrice di numerosi premi, intraprende un percorso solista che lo porta ad affermarsi come cantautore attento, diretto e mai accomodante. Nel 2008, il brano "Parole" entra nei circuiti radiofonici nazionali (Virgin Radio, Radio 105 e Radio Kiss Kiss) e viene premiato al Nat Fest di Taranto come miglior inedito e miglior testo da una giuria composta da Beppe D'Onghia, Mariella Nava, Antonio Coggio e Mario Rosini. Nello stesso anno, il singolo "Dove sarai" viene selezionato per Sanremo Nuova Generazione, ottenendo il plauso della giuria e della stampa, tra cui un riconoscimento pubblico da parte di Gianluca Grignani su Radio 105. Negli anni successivi, Piero pubblica nuovi brani come "Chiudo gli occhi" e "Ombra", ricevendo recensioni positive dai media di settore. Nel 2012 partecipa al progetto "AUT – Artisti Uniti per Taranto", una canzone corale contro l'inquinamento ambientale causato dall'Ilva. Nel 2013 si trasferisce a Bologna, dove frequenta assiduamente il circuito cantautorale locale e incontra Lucio Dalla, con cui ha modo di confrontarsi più volte. Gli incontri con Dalla rappresentano una svolta: è proprio lui a suggerirgli di riscrivere partendo da una voce più personale, più diretta. Un consiglio che segna profondamente la sua scrittura e dà forma a un nuovo percorso artistico, in cui la parola si fa atto e il suono diventa gesto politico. Da allora, la musica di Piero Campi continua a unire l'urgenza del rock a una scrittura schietta, essenziale e coraggiosa, come la sua voce.
