Making electronic music since the early '90s, Andrea Priora is a composer of melodic and emotive "mind voyaging" soundscapes, covering various genres from Chillout, New Age and Electronica to Trance and Soundtracks.
With 9 released albums and 3 others in progress he has a lot to express.
Not bound to a single style, Andrea isn't typically mainstream, but very un-trendy in trying to build something deeply musical that goes beyond the fashion of the moment. As melody and emotion catches his ear, he often finds himself at ease with strong melodies and chord structures riding over a fast beat.
His sound pools influences from the big names of classic electronic music, film and games composers (Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Enigma, Mike Oldfield, Robert Miles, Hans Zimmer and Steve Jablonsky, James Newton Howard, Joseph Trapanese, Inon Zur, Sam Hulick for example), merging orchestral sounds with the electronic and acoustic.
Andrea's online success originally began via MP3.com, where he achieved first place chart positions and several hundred thousand downloads worldwide. This gave him the opportunity to sell his music globally while earning him a respective fanbase, happy to discover and listen to his music.
Since 2009 he has been evolving his own soundtrack and cinematic musical path, adding new composers to influence his sound, while also creating back to the old roots of classic electronic music (Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis) and dream-trance sound for his latest dynamic projects.
“I love to think creative and be creative in many things... I'ts in my DNA: artistic passion has always flowed inside me.”
