Alessandro Martinelli

There are moments in life when you need the courage to follow your heart. Alessandro experienced one of those moments when he decided to pause a thriving career in techno music, which had taken him to clubs and festivals worldwide, to return to his first love: the piano. Since childhood, the piano had been his refuge. His first extracurricular lessons made him fall in love with music, convincing his parents to buy him an instrument and private lessons. However, his desire to create soon surpassed the need to follow sheet music: his compositional nature led him to write his own pieces, a passion he continued to nurture even as a teenager, playing in punk rock and nu-metal bands. At 18, a serious car accident changed his life. During a long rehabilitation, Alessandro found solace in music, solidifying his bond with the piano. Once recovered, he discovered the world of clubs and quickly made a name for himself as an international DJ and producer under the alias "Alex Mine."Despite his successes, the piano remained a constant in his life. During the pandemic, with tours canceled and a painful breakup behind him, Alessandro found himself alone with his instrument. In that silence, he transformed his emotions into music, composing pieces that reflect his melancholy and vulnerability. Today, the piano is the heart of his art, the place where all his experiences converge, and the starting point for a new chapter in his musical career.
