Cico is a Luxembourg born Italian. He studied piano from the age of 6 until he was 11 when he took up jazz guitar. Addicted to all string instruments – violin, harp, banjo, mandolin, ukulele, lapsteel, 12-strings guitars, acoustic-classic-electric&bass guitars – he played his first concert at 14 years old and produced his first album by 17. Spending a couple of years in Anzio he discovered a talent for rap and composing Hip Hop tracks. Back to Luxembourg in 1998 he created 6-Mic Produxion with some friends and also became the charter member for the Luxembourg fraction of the Universal Zulu Nation.

Cico has since been recording, releasing and playing with his various outfits! Earlier in 2008 the Allella Boyz released Allella Time (on Winged Skull). In 2007 Uranami show cased at Popkomm, Berlin. Although for Uranami, it was 2006 when most notably they were invited to play at the Zulu Nation 33 year anniversary one of only a handful of hip hop bands outside of the US ever to be asked. There they chilled with the likes of Afrika Bambaataa, Zulu King B Jef and Zulu King Yoda from original CrashCrew who’s quoted as saying “Uranami turned it up! Ya should have been here, the bass was ill, it was a ‘doped’ show! Peace!”

Thanks Cico, much love!
