Biography
[edit]Early life and debut
[edit]Daniele Groff attended a specialized music high school in his hometown and graduated with a diploma in piano from the State Conservatory of Music. He later furthered his studies in the oboe and cello, earning intermediate diplomas in both instruments. His passion for Britpop inspired him at the age of nineteen to travel across the United Kingdom on his motorcycle. The event that sparked this journey across Europe was his desire to visit his ex-girlfriend in Paris, despite not knowing her address. Unable to find her, Groff decided to continue his trip and eventually reached London.[1]
Fourth album
[edit]In 2007, Groff released the single Prendimi, co-written with Volker Hinkel, as a preview of a forthcoming fourth album. In the summer of that year, he opened Renato Zero's concerts with an acoustic set. In 2010, Groff performed at the Summer Music Festival.[2]
In August 2012, he launched a crowdfunding project on the French platform Ulule to raise funds for his new album.[3] The initiative was successful, raising €11,690, surpassing the initial goal of €10,000.[4]
In 2015, Groff released the single Bellissima la verità[5] and in June 2016, the single Sempre nella mia testa.[6]
In 2023, Groff collaborated with the Southern Waves, lending his voice to the single Lullaby of Mine.
