What a wonderful pleasure to meet you here for your wonderful movie. 30 years it has been since San Remo. While you definitely sing it has only been three years. Your voice is still the same. Amazing. You have seen the business transforming the music business. You've been in it now for three decades. Yet you always stayed relevant. What have you done differently? There's so many...
younger artists they cannot fill concert hordes but you have always managed to stay relevant what have you done because the world changed very quickly because the technology changed no from the from the recordings we passed to the cd and then the the liquid music but There is something that doesn't change and it's the performance, life, the relationship with the audience remain.
If you are able to remain yourself, if you are able to be very authentic, sincere, you know, I think that this is the most important element.
You definitely have managed to do that and now you're making this movie that is a very, very interesting film because you're combining film, music, some of the best artists in the world collaborating with you. In general though, the film industry has suffered in America. Why do you think though your film will be a success?
I think that in this movie there are many interesting elements, apart many from the biggest artists of the world. But there is also an atmosphere. People can see a very beautiful place in Tuscany. and in a certain sense to leave a little bit the atmosphere that we lived on the place. So I think it's interesting in this sense.
We live also now in a world with Spotify and YouTube, which has changed the music industry. It is for free. People can listen to music for free. Have you viewed that as something that is negative or has it positively influenced your business? Definitely it's positive, because music is for everybody. And if it can be free, I think it's positive, of course. Because you're reaching so many people.
The most important thing would be that people can distinguish, recognize the good music from the bad music. And like Aristotle, one of the biggest philosophers, said, you can recognize the plant from the fruits that it does. Sorry for my English, but... Quality always prevails. Yeah. When the music is good, it's very positive that it can be free for everybody.
Fantastic. What are your plans for 2025? Last question. Very easy. To sing, to sing, to sing.
So we'll see a lot of you. Thank you so much. Is that in general, when children follow their parents' footsteps, the parents, very famous, usually then the kids have a hard time finding their own identity and having the same success. But you are managing that. What are you doing to make your own mark and how you found your own identity with such a famous father?
