Information:

Giulio Garghentini has been highly appreciated over the years for his live performances with Mantra
(especially on their support date to Rats in 1998). In 2002 he joined The Darkfire, a well known hard-rock
band under contract to Sacred Metal, whose LP sold well on the Japanese market.

Giulio has enhanced his knowledge in other musical areas, such as with former Beat-Funk, a funky-jazz band
and with Soul's Silence piano-voice duo which owns a high quality repertoire (Toto, George Michael, Sting).
This variety of vocalization has resulted in making Giulio's voice versatile and easily adaptable to every
requirement.

In 2003 he came into contact with the world of theatre by playing Febo in the musical "Cries of Freedom"
by Mosaico. He enjoyed this experience so much that he accepted the part of Jesus in a recent J.C.S. production.

In 2007 he came into the tribute field and formed Dream Company (Bon Jovi cover), and to all intents and purposes became the American frontman. Dream Company had great success all over Italy and so turned to a European audience for the first time in September 2007. He was asked to take part in the show"Falsi d'autore" where Italian look-alikes of the most important rock bands (Aerosmith (Big Ones), Queen (Merquryband)) performed.

At the moment Dream Company are playing live in the most important international clubs and festivals in Italy
and abroad. As a consequence becoming well known to a wider public.

BELIEVE is the debut album by Giulio Garghentini, ten tracks of authentic music blending all the influences
and styles of this eclectic singer and front man in one single album. The songwriting is a result of soul,
passion and musical creativity. The collaboration between Giulio and Mario Percudani (Hungryheart, Mitch Malloy, Axe, Issa) has resulted in an album of killer tracks covering rock, blues, funky and much more with an eye always open towards melodies, intensity and great energy. It's hard to pick out a single representative track for this album because each song will deliver a different and vibrant feeling. Groove, style, melody, energy, emotion, melancholy,... nothing has been neglected in one of the most captivating albums you will ever hear, also in merit of the contribution of musicians like Apollo Negri (Link Quartet, Wicked Minds),
Gianni Grecchi (Blueville, Rusty Miles) and Paolo Botteschi (Hungryheart) in the arrangements and in part
