Biography

Spagna was born in Verona, Italy.

Her first dance song "Easy Lady" (1986) was a hit throughout Europe. In 1987 she released her second successful hit, "Call Me": the song ranked 1st in the European Top Chart, hit #2 in the UK Singles Chart (and it is still the highest position ever achieved by an Italian singer in the UK), and made #13 in the Billboard Dance Chart.

The same year Spagna’s first album, featuring the two singles, was released. "DEDICATED TO THE MOON" sold 500,000 copies, and won an international prize for having been the best-selling album on Compact Disc that year.

After the album "YOU ARE MY ENERGY" (1989) and one more hit "Every Girl and Boy", in 1990 Spagna moved to the U.S.. She lived in Los Angeles, working on her new pop album "NO WAY OUT". This collection featured a song written by Diane Warren ("There's A Love"), and the two singles which she released in the U.S. - "Love At First Sight" and "Only Words".

In 1993 Spagna moved back to Europe again, and recorded "MATTER OF TIME", considered by many her best album in English, featuring new eurodance rhythms and ballads and spawning the two successful singles "Why me" and "I always dream about you".

In 1995, after the release of her last European hit ("Lady Madonna") as a single, she started singing in her native Italian. She took part several times in the Sanremo Festival, the most important Italian song-contest, ranking 3rd in 1995 with the song "Gente Come Noi", which became the biggest hit of the year in Italy.

From that year onwards, Spagna released many successful albums sung in Italian (including hit singles such as "Siamo in due", "Lupi solitari", "Indivisibili" until 2003, when she joined the label B&G, and recorded "WOMAN", a dance-pop album featuring eleven new songs, which spawned the three singles "Never say you love me", "Woman" and "Do it with style".

In 2009 Spagna has re-established a collaboration with Larry Pignagnoli (producer of all her hits in the
80’s) at Off Limits. The five new versions of “Easy Lady” (re-recorded by Spagna herself) are digitally
available world-wide. "Easy Lady 2009 Remake" reached #25 in the iTunes chart.

Resung by Spagna and remixed by national and international djs, on the 19th of February Off Limits
released "Call Me 2010 Remake".

Spagna's albums have sold a total of over 10 million copies worldwide.
