Early days - Italy 1981-1995
Gaudi's professional career started in 1981 in Italy as a keyboard player in the new-wave band Wild Planet. Two years later he joined electronica band Red Light and following that in 1985 he became a member of Violet Eves, a band with an important role in the Italian underground music scene combining electronica, punk and traditional Italian melodies. Later that same year Gaudi joined the reggae band Bamboo Company who gave him the opportunity to develop his production skills and also increased his music knowledge in what was to become the heart and soul of his style from then on – Reggae music.Gaudi started to gain recognition in the music underground scene for his production work and began to be approached by other bands for studio production and collaboration work. This included work with ‘The Gang’ (album “Barricada”, 1985) and ‘Disciplinatha’ (album “Abbiamo pazientato 40 anni, ora basta”, 1987).
In 1986 Gaudi and three members of his previous band Bamboo Company formed Raptus, the first Hip Hop band to use Italian lyrics. They released the single “Peggio della colla” with the Indie label Multimedia Attak Punk Records and were subsequently spotted by Italian popstar Vasco Rossi

and his production team Terryball. Terryball produced the next single but although expectation for the project was high unfortunately exposure was low and the band split.
In 1987 Gaudi began his first solo project as a singer under the name ‘Lele Gaudi’ with the creation of what was to become the first ‘Raggamuffin’ album written in the Italian language. In 1988 the album was finished however record companies were uneasy with the concept of an untried formula and unwilling to take the risk of releasing it. Gaudi spent the next 2 years meeting companies to find an appropriate record deal. During this period he also spent time in Jamaica , testing his project and getting valuable feedback on the quality of his work; it was well received.
Back in Italy, he teamed up with producers Ricky Rinaldi aka ‘Ohm Guru’ and Frank Nemola to form production company ‘Tubi Forti’. Together they produced many indie bands including icons of the Italian hip hop scene ‘Isola Posse All Stars’. This versatile production team also released many dance tunes under different names including: ‘National Rare Groove’, ‘Dr Muff & Crazy Stuff’, ‘4t Thieves’, ‘Etnotechno’ (Gaudi's first experiment using world music with a fusion of Egyptian chants and electro funk).
Two years on from the initial knock-backs Gaudi's signed his first major record deal with Polygram

Alongside a busy tour schedule, Gaudi returned to Italy in the spring for 4 months to take on the role of 'vocal coach' for the hit TV talent show The X Factor; he worked with the vocal groups category and emerged victorious with his group 'Aram Quartet' winning the show.
2009 started with a return to X Factor for the second series and once again to coach the groups category.

Subsequently, Gaudi also produced their debut album "In Stasi Perpetua" which was released by Sony Music in November 2009. After spending the summer touring America, Canada, UK and Greece, Gaudi returned to Italy again in the autumn for the 3rd series of XFactor where this time his female vocal trio "Yavanna" took 3rd place.
