Roberto Bignoli of Milano (Italy)
He had a passion for music since he was a child, and his artistic career had a start when he was sixteen. He took part in several musical entertainments as well as various pop music festivals, being the backer of many ..big.. and singing in the streets of Italian and foreign cities getting consent and audience.
In 1984, however, thanks to a very strong experience of faith, he decided to undertake as a professional a new musical trend, suggesting by his songs as a singer new subjects of social and religious character. Thus, not only he worked in the typical environments of the show but he also started to sing in schools, churches, prisons, hospitals and in recovery communities, telling the experience of his troubled life and unhappy childhood injured by illness as well as the experiences that had been pushing him towards emptiness and darkness until a Light had come: the light of hope born by Faith.
His testimonial is simple and lies in expressing, through music and words, the Love of Christ that can get to the heart of every man who desires to open out to Him.
He has already produced several albums of songs and, after four years silence, he then issued with Edizioni Paoline ..Tempo di pace... It is a work rich in musicality along with strong matters where you also feel his desire of telling his own story and the story of the ways he has gone to come to Christ, source of endless Peace, and, along with that, the social disasters that are nowadays upsetting the earth, that are to fight against with true Love.
A proposal of songs full of commitment, born by real life and not just by tall talks; an impulse to live the evangelic message deeply inside and to embrace with strength the faith in God and in his providence to finally attain the long desired peace: peace among all men and peace in the heart of every man.
One of the pieces making up the collection is ..Concerto a Sarajevo.., dedicated to the children who were victim of the wars and in particular to Mons. Tonino Bello on the occasion of the peace march held in Sarajevo together with the association ..Beati costruttori di Pace.. (Blessed fighting for peace).
Many mass-media such as Radio, Televisions (domestic as well as international) and newspapers, both catholic and secular, have talked about him. Roberto has been the promoter of international festivals of christian music and art director of compilations of international christian music. He is also the author of Radio Maria..s jingle ..Ballata per Maria.. available also in Spanish (Balada por Maria). On 2001 he received in Washington DC (USA) from UCMVA two Unity Awards as International Artist of the Year and as International Song of the Year. On December 2003 received in Rome at Christmas Village in Villa Borghese the Golden Graal as christian artist commited in social field. As an art director he contributed to four international compilations of christian artists, two of which ecumenical, and organized concerts of international christian music. Roberto has issued six CD and his last cd, that is multimedial is called ..Ho bisogno di te.. (I need you).On 2005 he received in Minnesota (USA) from UCMVA two Unity Awards as International Artist of the Year and as International Song of the Year
