Federici is an Italian/Brazilian singer based in Los Angeles/CA. His music taste and passion started from the cradle. Since childhood, he has acquired the habit of listening, singing and enjoying music, influenced by his entire family. Seeing his father, also a singer, composing and singing, as well as his musician uncles and cousins, so he also pursued his way.

His first contact with making music started with taking guitar classes at the age of twelve. Consequently, he bought an electric bass and increased his knowledge as a self-taught musician, enjoying his first experience with a rock band at the age of 17. However, just one year later he discovered his true talent of singing and decided to study it on a deeper level.

At the beginning, he had started learning singing and performing through online self-learning, watching video classes, reading books and with some techniques from his father Reinaldo Federici. Later, he felt the need to take more professional lessons. That’s when he started taking classes of classical music at Instituto Souza Lima, where he learnt theory and fundamentals that helped a lot, especially with composing his own songs. Meanwhile his cover band, called Revival, started to rock through Sao Paulo pubs and other areas. Moreover, Julio Federici associated with other bands such as Lira in 2008 as composer and singer, Reviolence in 2009 also as composer and singer and participated on a beneficent project called Metal World, among famous Sepultura and Angra members. At the same time, in 2009, Federici also studied Music Production at Anhembi Morumbi University and Photography at SENAC in Sao Paulo, as he knew that these skills would be extremely important on his career. Both courses put Julio Federici on strong ground in the music and entertainment industry. He wanted to grow even more and decided it was time to take rock classes.

Three years later, he went directly to rock singing classes with a personal teacher, Nando Fernandes, a famous Rock singer in Sao Paulo/Brazil. Nando taught him everything he needed, especially vocal drive techniques, diaphragm breathing, and support, as the style demands a lot from the singers. Meanwhile, he was composing his first album, We Are The Law with his band King Of Bones, recorded and released in 2012 by Norcal Studios with Brendan Duffey and Adriano Daga producers.

After wrapping up promoting for the debut album, King Of Bones went from dreams to reality. As unknown musicians, the band felt the positive response during the Brazilian tour supporting Andre Matos’ band (founder of Angra, Shaman, and Viper) in more than 30 shows, all over Brazil from north to south. King of Bones was nominated to be in the top 10 best bands out of 1200 bands putting it in the final step in a band contest to play in Monsters of Rock festival in São Paulo in 2013 along bands as Aerosmith, Whitesnake and others. Time for the next step! The second original album Don’t Mess With The King (King Of Bones, 2016) was released independently in Brazil and by the Danish record company Lions Pride Music in Europe. The band already performed on Argentinian and Colombian stages and started promoting themselves overseas. King Of Bones also have performed as a special guest in shows with Anthrax, Accept, Tim Ripper Owens, among others renowned rock artists.

 

In 2017, Julio Federici also recorded the entire Rock n’ Rails soundtrack, a rock and roll VR game released by Samsung and Black River Studios, getting very good response everywhere in the world.

In 2018, Júlio Federici moved from São Paulo/SP – Brazil to Los Angeles/CA – US, where he formed his current band, Area 55. In May 2019 the band released their first single “Far Away”, part of their debut album, called One Ocean. In May 2020, the second single “Into the Void” was released, with great feedback, right before the full album, which got a lot of reviews from all over the world. The band also released an acoustic EP “Area 55 – Unplugged”, officially in September 2021.

Federici has been chosen as best Brazilian singer every single year since 2013 by the Roadie Crew magazine and Whiplash website in Brazil and nominated as the 8th best singer in 2020.
