Born in Como, Italy, Alessandro's musical journey began at the age of eleven, and his passion for the piano blossomed into a unique fusion of contemporary classical music enriched with elements of pop, minimalism, and crossover genres. By the age of fifteen, he had already written his first piano concertos and his remarkable compositions have enchanted audiences around the world. Under the guidance of Maestro Giusto Franco, he refined his skills, and in 2012, Alessandro pursued a degree in new age composition at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. Alessandro's musical endeavors have taken him on a whirlwind of global tours, including the Melodia di Vita World Tour in 2013, the Da Sempre in Tour in 2015, and the Flames of Joy Tour in 2016. With each performance, he has graced renowned theaters and concert halls in Europe, Russia, Asia, and America. While his concert career soared, in 2016 he also obtained a degree in International Relations from the University of Milan, showcasing his commitment to a broader understanding of the world.</p><img src="/_astro/profile2.B9-4n_vL_1OoJ33.webp" alt="Alessandro Martire" loading="lazy" data-astro-cid-gy4xnglf="true" decoding="async" width="1365" height="2048" class="bio-inline-photo"><p class="bio-body" data-astro-cid-gy4xnglf>In 2019, his unique creative vision has led to the development of groundbreaking concert formats: he introduced the Floating Waves Concert, an enchanting experience held on a floating platform amidst the breathtaking waters of Lake Como. This one-of-a-kind spectacle showcases Alessandro's mastery of Waves, the first world's curved piano, which he invented in collaboration with local Italian artists, and his ability to create unforgettable musical moments in extraordinary settings. In the same year, he founded the Lake Endless Joy Festival, to revitalize the Como area through international cultural initiatives. Subsequently, he signed with legendary independent label Carosello Records and embarked upon a new recording path which led to the release of his album Share The World (April 10th, 2020). The album's title track video was launched in partnership with National Geographic Italia, showcasing Alessandro's music to a wider audience. The video for "Breath", another song from the album, is previewed on the global Steinway & Sons Instagram account. In 2021, Alessandro launched the Ice Waves Experience, a captivating performance set against the backdrop of snowy mountain landscapes, including glaciers, frozen lakes, and rivers, pushing boundaries even further. These awe-inspiring performances, accompanied by his original compositions, have garnered global acclaim and captivated audiences worldwide.</p><img src="/_astro/profile5.DOTtqJv0_Z24Drgt.webp" alt="Alessandro Martire" loading="lazy" data-astro-cid-gy4xnglf="true" decoding="async" width="4160" height="6240" class="bio-inline-photo"><p class="bio-body" data-astro-cid-gy4xnglf>Alessandro's remarkable achievements continue to grow: he was invited to perform in the Teatro Antico of Taormina where he received the Nations Artistic Award. In the same year, the Floating Waves Concert, which became the cornerstone of the Lake Endless Joy Festival, of which Alessandro is the art director, was broadcast in a world exclusive TikTok live-stream, resulting in the third most followed live broadcast on the platform of that year by the Italian public. In March 2021 Alessandro was chosen to unveil the emblem for the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympic Games, where he performed his composition "Aria", highlighting his ability to create evocative soundscapes, and in May 2021, he presented an epic live performance at Portofino's historic Belmond Splendido Mare Hotel, in the iconic Portofino Piazzetta. He also composed the soundtrack for the award-winning short film Ottocentonovantasei Nuvole, which received multiple accolades at esteemed film festivals, and for which he received the second Nation Award. Four different tracks of his album Share The World have been remixed by international DJs John Talabot, Havoc & Lawn, Mathame, and BLR, and collected in the EP The World Remix Pack. Among these, the remix "Breath - Mathame Rmx" was also broadcast on BBC Radio 1 by Pete Tong.</p><p class="bio-body" data-astro-cid-gy4xnglf>On November 25, 2022, he unveiled his highly anticipated album Wind of Gea, a testament to his artistic growth and creative vision. Some tracks from the album debuted during the renowned 4th Annual Lake Endless Joy Festival, and the music video for the song "Larme" was filmed in the iconic Charyn Canyon in Kazakhstan. Meanwhile, he continues to mesmerize audiences by performing amid stunning natural vistas and unusual physical locations, including the rooftop of the Milan Cathedral at sunset, under the lighthouses of the island of Formentera, on top of a snowy mountain in Champoluc, on the canals of Venice for a series of his Floating Waves Concert, and in the Frasassi Caves. Recently, Alessandro crafted "The Ice Waves" experience at Plan de Corones in Italy, where he played his new album in synchrony with stunning new visual content for Woolrich's worldwide brand communication and he performed at Expo City Dubai for Cop28, the 28th annual United Nations (UN) climate meeting for which he composed "The Future of Nature" original song. Beyond his exceptional musical talent, Alessandro is a dedicated philanthropist. In 2015, he founded Infinity Sound, a non-profit association committed to creating inclusive events and projects for young people with disabilities.</p></div></div><!-- ââ Sticky photo column (desktop only) ââ --><div class="bio-photo-col" data-astro-cid-gy4xnglf><!-- Slider main container --><astro-swiper data-astro-cid-gy4xnglf="true" data-options="{"loop":true,"navigation":{"nextEl":".swiper-button-next","prevEl":".swiper-button-prev"}}" data-linktothumbuniqueclass data-uniqueclass="astro-swiper-ip6bhsc8p" class="swiper astro-swiper-ip6bhsc8p bio-swiper"><div class="swiper-wrapper" data-astro-cid-gy4xnglf="true"><div class="swiper-slide" data-astro-cid-gy4xnglf="true"><img src="/_astro/profile1.BfYyP-eC_mdwSc.webp" alt="Alessandro Martire portrait" loading="lazy" data-astro-cid-gy4xnglf="true" decoding="async" width="1365" height="2048" class="bio-swiper__img object-top"></div><div class="swiper-slide" data-astro-cid-gy4xnglf="true"><img src="/_astro/profile2.B9-4n_vL_1OoJ33.webp" alt="Alessandro Martire" loading="lazy" data-astro-cid-gy4xnglf="true" decoding="async" width="1365" height="2048" class="bio-swiper__img object-center"></div><div class="swiper-slide" data-astro-cid-gy4xnglf="true"><img src="/_astro/profile5.DOTtqJv0_Z24Drgt.webp" alt="Alessandro Martire" loading="lazy" data-astro-cid-gy4xnglf="true" decoding="async" width="4160" height="6240" class="bio-swiper__img object-center"></div></div><div class="swiper-button-prev" data-astro-cid-gy4xnglf="true"></div><div class="swiper-button-next" data-astro-cid-gy4xnglf="true"></div></astro-swiper>
