BIOGRAPHY:

Francesco Santonicola (b. 1989) began playing in the first clubs in his area at the age of 16 until he met Fabio Calabrese (b. 1987) in 2006, with whom he founded the DevilsOfMusic project, combining House, Funk-House, and Tech-House sounds with electronic influences tending towards Nu-Disco and Dance.
In 2009, they attended the Ableton Live 8 course at the Nut Academy in Naples and began producing original music, performing at various clubs in Campania and becoming residents at Ciclope and Acquabianca Beach Club. In 2010, they registered the DevilsOfMusic® trademark.
In 2011, they collaborated with Cuban singer Irina Arozarena on the song "But Now," and continued their training by studying drums (Calabrese) and piano (Santonicola). In 2013, they founded the cultural association La Tana del Lupo, a space for emerging artists, and collaborated with Music Factory on the songs You Can Do It (featuring Klarita) and Can't Believe in My Eyes (featuring Lady I'm), which were broadcast on Radio Ibiza and produced by Smilax Record. In 2014, they released "Save Me" with Fabio Musta's Different Lab, shooting the music video in Madrid. In the following years, they released various songs, including "Don't Say Goodbye" (featuring Sarah Bollinger and Buffering Inc.), "A Little Time," "Don't Push Me," "Like a Bullet," "Jump," and "Friends," also experimenting with amateur music videos.
Subsequently, in 2020, they decided to create their own label, still branded DevilsOfMusic, producing all their own songs, creating real national and European hits, reaching incredible streaming numbers on Spotify, such as the songs: Tomorrow, Take You There, Believe, The End, and Belong...
Over the course of their career, DevilsOfMusic have performed in numerous clubs both in Italy and abroad, such as:
Ciclope Beach (Palinuro [SA]), We Love MYK Club (Mykonos [Greece]), Acquabianca Beach (Palinuro [SA]), Wuid&Schee (Regensburg [Germany]), Ekklesia (Torre del Greco [NA]), Blume (Copenhagen [Denmark]), Babylon Beach (Palinuro [SA]), Botaniko (Caserta [CE]), Cratere (Ercolano [NA]), Basilikos (Potenza [PZ]), Nettuno Lounge Club (Torre Annunziata [NA]), Tana del Lupo (Scafati [SA]) and at various private and corporate events in Basilicata and Lazio.
Their sets are characterized by 100% live performances with percussion (Roland HandSonic HPD-10), X1 Traktor controllers, and occasional sound inserts with a Roland JD-Xi keyboard.
They are currently promoting their latest EP, "Heaven," due out in June 2025 on Spotify and Beatport.
