Ambassa is a 25 years old bassman and producer, hailing from Udine, in the northeastern part of Italy. He grew up with reggae music, due also to the near presence of Rototom Sunsplash (the biggest European reggae festival), using it as a “study-course” of this musical genre, following shows, artists and their musical evolution year by year. At the same time he kept listening to lots and lots of black music, from classic soul to hip hop, jazz, rhythm&blues, funk, from whose he often drew inspiration.
He played in many reggae bands and as sessionman for other musical project, on stage and in studio.
Since 2008 Ambassa focused most on his productions, writing, arranging and recordering his own songs. He started collaborating mainly with foreign artists known through internet, searching for the best voice to sing his riddims.
In 2008 Ambassa released his first single, officially produced for Reddarmy records, a young yet active urban independent record label. "Loving" is the title, and it'is sung by Fellipe Souljah a very god brazilian reggae singer. On the same riddim Ambassa produced also two other versions. The first one is called " Gyal you promised", sung by Thomas, lead singer of the austrian 2008 Rototom Sunsplash's reggae contest winners, the Rebel Muffin. "My own guide", the second one, is sung by Sergio Cocchi, an amazing italian soul singer that already collaborated with some of the greatest italian reggae band (Reggae National Tickets, Smoke, Franziska...). Loving was also the official jingle of Rototom Sunsplash 2008, and it's been dowloaded almost 3000 times. All the 3 versions are in freedownload on Reddarmy's official webside or on Ambassa's official Myspace.
The 2009 opens with an amazing international collaboration: "Kill dem with love" is the new single, coming out (with video) on June, the 3rd for Reddarmy records. This time the song is sung by Talliss, lead singer and bassman from the Ras Ites, the young and most famous Uk reggae band that has collaborated with artists like Abyssinians, Black Uhuru, Luciano, Warrior King, Dean Fraser and much more.
Ambassa's songs has been mixed by Sander Notz, Gianluca Pelosi and Ale Soresini (from the italian reggae band "Smoke") at the Roots hill studio, Lodi (Mi).
