STEFANO CILIO

Stefano Cilio is an Italian music producer who won plenty of gold and platinum records in the last months.
His third single is titled “Breathless”, it is an electronic pop ballad and after the great international hits of “Glance” and “Tonight” he will try to make an impact once again. That’s what the young musician said about the release of the song: “The second song is always the
most complicated after having obtained good results at the debut, and is often decisive in the
continuation of a career: fortunately in my case it went well and the third song will allow me to experiment a little and amaze listeners with a change of genre. There will also be a remix to
continue the path begun with “Glance” and “Tonight”, but the main version will definitely lower the pace and I hope it will also be a discovery for pop music lovers”.
“Glance” has been his first record, hailed with a platinum record in Austria: it is a pop-dance love song with a featured talented singer that was able to convert words into fine lyrics. The song got 1 million streams on its first month of release and now has overcome 5 million streams, being his best-known song all over the world.

THE ITALIAN ARTIST STEFANO CILIO IS EXPLODING INTERNATIONALLY

Each weekend he presents the “Rit Parade” chart, currently aired on italian national radio NBC Rete Regione, but the success – in recent months – has been achieved through discography.
We are referring to Stefano Cilio, author of the book “Mezzo Secolo di Ritornelli” and now a wellknown and talented producer. He hails from Milan, he is 41, and he achieved three gold records abroad with his first single “Glance”, while in Italy the road is less simple. He explains why: “Honestly, it is an incredible and completely unexpected situation, especially given the fact that Italian music abroad has historically struggled to emerge, with the exception of some very big names. The victory of Eurovision by the Maneskin has certainly contributed to generating greater interest in our productions, but having neither a record company nor a promoter I still find it hard to believe that I have received three official gold records and the first position on Spotify. In Italy this is not possible, without a label you are a ghost, while international markets are freer and if we want democratic: if you like you, you can reach the top, regardless of your contractual situation, and for me it is a greater satisfaction to arrive in countries and continents where only ten years ago it was impossible even to be known”. Internationally Stefano’s songs are well-known, having reached more than 100 countries and having achieved three gold record awards and a platinum record award.

STEFANO CILIO SAVES A “GLANCE” FOR THE INTERNATIONAL MARKET

2021 has been an year full of satisfactions for Stefano Cilio, radio host and above all music
producer born in 1980. After winning the platinum record in Austria with his debut single “Glance” (which sold more than 30.000 copies), two more international certifications have arrived for the artist residing in Milan.
First the gold record in Hungary, obtained by the Mahasz (affiliate of the international federation IFPI) for having exceeded 500,000 streaming premium plays in the Hungarian nation and then the gold disc in South Africa for the sale of over 10,000 copies of the single: the South African association RISA (Recording Industry of South Africa) has notified the crossing of the threshold on its website, making Cilio the first Italian ever to obtain this prestigious award.
That’s what Stefano told us: “I love South Africa and south african people, they have music in their blood and they are very good when we talk about music. Being recognized in that country is an emotion for me, since Africa is the homeland of music and going outside Europe is something I could not even imagine. I was also asked to make a tour in South Africa, when the COVID pandemic is over: if this will happen it will be exciting and I can’t wait for it”.

ITALIAN MUSICIAN STEFANO CILIO TALKS ABOUT HIS SONGS

Stefano Cilio was known as the curator of the popularity chart “Rit Parade” (also present on
prestigious music magazine Rockol among the charts analyzed over the weekend) and as the author of “Mezzo secolo di ritornelli”, a review of the best-selling songs ever in the Italian charts.
In 2021, however, Stefano Cilio has changed perspective and got involved on the other side of the fence with his first single “Glance”, an electronic song halfway between pop and dance that marked his debut in discography and the beginning of a new adventure for the italian artist born in 1980 and raised in Milan.
“Pandemic gave me a lot of time to focus on my passion, music. I decided to produce some songs I had in mind and I published them on all platforms: first of all the instrumental version of “Glance” went out on May and was aired by italian and swiss radios, while in July I added vocals and published the final version of “Glance”. The song went very well on Spotify, making me enter the italian and swiss charts and giving me a good entry in the italian airplay indie chart. I also went on to number 10 on Deezer chart and this unexpected success gave me the strenght to go for the second song. In October I released “Tonight”, an uptempo dance song both melancholic and happy: the song had a great impact in Romania (where I reached the number 1 spot on Spotify) and in Greece, allowing me to enter their top 100 national chart.”
Stefano’s first songs are hopefully only the beginning of a long career, that will probably explode in 2022 with new songs and maybe his first album.

ITALIAN PRODUCER STEFANO CILIO RELEASES HIS THIRD SONG

The italian well-known producer Stefano Cilio is ready for his third single. The platinum disc in Austria and the two gold discs in Hungary and South Africa obtained with “Glance” were a great satisfaction, but above all a starting point for the milanese artist, who after the confirmation of “Tonight”, arrived at first place in Romania in the Spotify chart, with “Breathless” will also try to explore the path of electronic pop, a path not yet beaten but fully in its strings.
“Breathless” is a melancholy but also energetic winter song, which talks about the security that
stable relationships between people can give regardless of the obstacles that are created along the way. The video clip of the song will soon be released on Stefano’s Youtube channel and will have winter as the main protagonist.
After the release of “Tonight”, a classic dance song that had great impact in italian clubs and charts and all over Europe, he will try to find a new niche, the pop lovers, with a Coldplay-style song which is ready to make an impact on european airplay and worldwide streaming.
