Papik - Little Songs For A Big Elevators (2018) [Hi-Res]

Papik is a musical project born from an idea of the roman arranger and composer Nerio Poggi, author and producer ranging from Pop to Nu Jazz, from Bossa to Nu Soul and who collaborated among others, with Mario Biondi in the albums "Handful of Soul "as co-author of the song" Gig ", and in the album" I Love You More "in which appears as the author of the songs" Rebirth "and" Moonlight in July ", is also arranger in the song that gives the title to the album" I Love You More ".

The choice of the name Papik originates from a nickname given to the young Nerio by his mother, who after seeing the scene of the birth of the newborn Papik in the film by Nicholas Ray "White Shadows", noted the similarity between the two.

In 2009 he released the debut album "Rhythm of Life" (Irma records) which contains the single "Staying For Good" sung by Alan Scaffardi '. The song is a great success and is broadcast in heavy rotation by the largest Italian national radio networks (Radio Deejay, Radio Capital, Radio Montecarlo, Radio 105, Radio Rai etc.) as well as by many British radio stations such as Jazz FM and BBC.

In May 2012 the second album "Music Inside" was released, preceded by the single "The Puzzle Of Life" sung by Ely Bruna, which was chosen by Gallardagalante, a well-known fashion line made in Japan for the ad for the new advertising campaign. The album is also released in Japan and is receiving considerable success.
