Hello everybody,
my name is Federico and I'm Italian.
I've got a big question here for you all that's really really important for me.
I'm in a rock band and we're about to record our first album.
We recently had a meeting to talk about it, planning things etc etc.. Well..let's get to the point.
The main thing we discussed was which language to choose for the songs lyrics.
What to choose...Italian or English? That's the question.
The point is that I've always sang in English, I've always listened to English music and I feel really unconfortable when I sing in Italian. I don't really like Italian rock music and how our language fits in that kind of sound.
I feel like it doesn't belong to me..I mean, Italian rock music.
Everybody I've asked to, referring to Italian people of course, says that singing in English would mean less possibility of success in our country and being totally Ignored in Anglo Saxon countries and America also.
Is that true, are we such crap that can't even aim to reach a bigger audience rather then just the Italian one?

Thanks in advance for your time,
I'll be waiting for your comments!

Federico
