All about Fito Paez
Rodolfo Páez Ávalos, or Fito Paez, is an Argentine rock and roll pianist, lyricist, singer-songwriter, and film director. He was born in Rosario in Santa Fe Province in 1963. As he shared his name with his father, he was nicknamed Rodolfito, which later became Fito, as we know it today.
A natural musician, Fito formed his first band when he was just 13 years old. In another year, he started performing solo in clubs. As soon as he passed out of high school, Fito started touring with several bands, becoming a known figure in the industry. He topped this up by producing some breathtaking albums, which were put together with the help of some of Argentina's most prominent musicians like Daniel Wirtz and Fabián Gallardo.
His success only increased with time as he turned his work into a more artistic direction, exploring themes like cultural influences, poverty, and exploitation, among others. This led him to become an international figure.
Speaking about his musical journey, the brilliant composer previously said to Billboard:
"I was born in 1963 and there was a piano at home. Someone was always playing the piano. We had these big get-togethers and my aunt played the piano, people sang and chatted. It’s like what James Joyce narrates in The Dubliners. That was part of popular culture back then. Two things were crucial: My mother was a great concert pianist, and my father was a great music lover."
After numerous awards and accolades showered at him throughout his career, he was finally awarded the Latin Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2021, cementing his legacy in the world of Latin American music.
Paez is also noted for his work outside of music. He reportedly directed two films while carrying out his musical career, Vidas privadas (2001) and ¿De quién es el portaligas? (2007).
Love After Music will premiere on Netflix on April 26, 2023.
