Dizzy Ritzy is a multifaceted artist: he sings, he writes songs and novels and plays guitar. His musical genre is rock blues with several contaminations: since folk to American hard rock.. The best definition for his music is “Astral Blues” (Hendrix style).
His artistic career began in 1977 in Borgolavezzaro (Novara, Italy), his small hometown, when he wrote a song for the first time, and won a young talent contest.
So he devoted himself to music; bands like Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin inspired him. In the first 80’s he learnt to play guitar by himself and started live shows. In 1983 he “discovered” Jimi Hendrix music and since then Hendrix has always been his most important reference model. Dizzy played with several bands, important were: “Les Maudit” (1992/1994) and then “Oltre”; with this band he played at a festival dedicated to Woodstock. He studied keyboards and harmony and in 2002 he became a solo artist and in late 2007 started the collaboration with After Life Music Dimension, which is his label now.
In 2008 he played as solo artist at Galliate Master Guitar.
In his career he recorded many self-produced albums, with After Life he recorded a demo, vocal and guitar, called “Scarpe Diem” (title is an Italian/Latin play on words) and since Sempember 2009 his concept album “Real Tapes”, has been available all over the world.
Now he’s working to arrangements for live promotion of “Real tapes” and to a 70’s rock cover project.

Dizzy Ritzy's hypnotic album, "Real Tapes," is comprised of hard core Blues/Rock songs that carry substantial psychedelic influences to it as well. In "Die Hard" we hear a fierce and quick rock song replete with awesome shredding and ambient sounds of police sirens that creates a car chase put to music. "I Wish Meet You" is a plodding Blues/Rock song in which Ritzy shows off his dynamic vocal range. "Together" is a song that has more of a traditional Blues beat to it but is unique through the emotive vocal interplay between Ritzy and his talented female guest vocalist. In this album, Ritzy has channeled the varying Rock styles of the past few generations and expresses them through zestful Blues/Rock songs with style and attitude. Fans of Stevie Ray Vaughan or Led Zeppelin will thoroughly enjoy the rocking songs of “Real Tapes."
