LAURA PAUSINI BIOGRAPHY |
|
|
| |
Laura was born in
Solarolo, a teeny city of Emiglia-Romagna, north of Italy, in
May 16th, 1974. She attended the Liceo Artistico di Faenza, an
Italian high school, she left there formed at the age 18 (she
left it with average 36, the maximum is 40), she had already won
the San Remo Festival'93, and Laura was to Milan, where she's
living until today. She was born under the Taurus sign, Laura
recognizes herself as a really one, ' I'm obstinate and very
jalousie ', besides being romantic ' Can I hide that? People say
that I'm romantic as my songs, but I don't get to be different
...' . And Laura has a special reason to so much romanticism,
she is passionate and fiancée of Alfredo Cerruti Jr. (five years
older than Laura), he's also her manager, ' he is everything to
me ', she says. They are living together in Milan.
The success, at the biginning, did not bring her only happiness,
her mother has never wanted that she was a singer, therefore
they had been without talk to each other for some years, but now,
happily, they had reconciled themselves 'Mi dispiace' is
dedicated to her. To live with Alfredo also was a problem, the
Church does not like those things, and worse if it is in Italy,
but Laura defends herself saying that she wants ' an only
marriage and for that nothing better than acquaintance' , she's
right...
Over 16 Million copies sold world-wide of her previous five
records LAURA PAUSINI , LAURA , LE COSE CHE VIVI/LAS COSAS QUE
VIVES, LA MIA RISPOSTA/MI RESPUESTA and TRA TE E IL MARE/ENTRE
TU Y MIL MARES. Over 160 platinum discs, a long list of gold
discs and several international awards.
And now, an important outing with her first BEST OF collection,
an album the ideally closes the first part of her career, while
at the same time incorporating some of the elements destined to
become a part the near future of this artist, Italian by birth,
but adopted around the world. In effect, The Best Of Laura
