Biography
Early life
Manuel Caramori was born on July 25, 1983, in Mantua, Lombardy, Italy. His parents were Tiziana Viola and Giordano Caramori, and he was the older brother of Riccardo Caramori. He began playing piano at age 7 and entered the Verona Conservatory at age 8, graduating with a degree in classical piano in October 2006. Queen, particularly "Bohemian Rhapsody", was a major musical influence. He attended Ist. Mag. Le Isabella D'Este Mn. high school, graduating around 1997.

Euronergy
Avex did not release several of Caramori's songs, including "Gonna Feel Alright". Giancarlo Pasquini created Euronenergy to publish these songs under new names and aliases, resulting in "Wanna Belong To Me".
Polemìk (2007–2012)
In 2007, Caramori formed the rock band Polemìk with Damiano Pizzoli, Steve Rondini, and Stefano Cassini. After performing at festivals, they released the album "L'inguaribile incoerenza Dell'essere" in 2012. Their lyrics addressed controversial topics.
