About Savage

Born 1956. Savage is an Italian composer, singer, record producer and musician.

Roberto Zanetti (born 28 November 1956) is an Italian singer, music producer and businessman from Massa, Tuscany. As a singer, he is known under the stage name Savage and as a music producer he uses the alias Robyx.

Career At the age of fourteen, he began studying piano, quickly developing a passion for music that would shape his future career. During his high school years, he played in a band. This marked the beginning of his partnership with Discomagic Records, a key distributor for his future work. Between October and November 1983, he produced several tracks, including "Buenas Noches" by Kamillo, "Starman" by Claudio Mingardi, "Magic Carillon" by Rose, and his breakthrough hit "Don't Cry Tonight" under the stage name Savage. This song marked his rise to prominence and led him to adopt the professional pseudonym Robyx, inspired by a cartoon character he created with a friend during school.

Savage From 1984 to 1986, Zanetti focused on his Savage project, releasing the successful album Tonight and singles such as "Only You", "Celebrate", "Radio", "A Love Again", "Love Is Death", "Loosing You", and "Goodbye". During this time, he also produced "Live Is Life" by Stargo, a dance cover of Opus's hit, which topped the French charts and earned a gold record for 250,000 copies sold. As the lead singer of Savage, Zanetti began performing live shows and tours across Europe, gaining popularity in Eastern European countries like Poland and Russia.
