"Musician, Writer, Programmer… but first of all Dreamer! Otherwise nothing could be Possible."

Born 31/03/1984 in the ancient city of Rome (Italy) and with Greek origins, Alessandro "Sander" Biriaco is the son of the Italian Jazz Musician Bruno Biriaco.

He always loved art, music, literature and computers since he was a child and started very young playing the piano and writing songs, lyrics, novels and poems.

"Music always had a Big role in my life… it was my everyday language to express my feelings and all those things that my heart wasn't able to tell thru my mouth but only thru my hands when I was playing the piano or writing a song."

At the age of seventeen he discovered the incredible world of Italodance, Progressive Music and, further in time, Hands Up and Jumpstyle Music that are his actual main genre of Musical Expression.

"The Music is communication… is telling a story, your story or just your feelings to let other people dream and feel while they listen to dive deeper in themselves and face their feelings… this is possible only with melody, without it music is just noise."

As a DJ he worked for only one year, playing in some clubs on the Central Tirrenic Coast and some little clubs in Rome. His real vocation has been always Musical Writing (Lyrics & Music).

"When I discovered Italodance and Hands Up Music my life as a Songwriter changed forever… I discovered a new world made of a wonderful style that could make people Dream and Dance at the same time… jumping with their hearts and not only with their bodies."

In June 2004 was released his first production on SonyBMG (former BMG/RCA/Ricordi), with the collaboration of the famous Italian singer & composer Gianni Togni.
An Original Eurodance Style Cover of "Luna" re-sung by the wonderful voice of Gianni Togni.

Always for SonyBMG he Remixed one the firsts single of Lola Ponce "I Can Do It".

After that he joined Amerigo Provenzano, the artistic director of m2o Radio, workin' alongside with him on a lot of Remixes, Bootlegs and Official Productions like LIZZY B "Our Summer", FRANKIE "F*ck U Right Back", Mr ED "Disco Sex", PD_J "Go Go", PD_J "Sound Is Back" and a lot more!

After a lot of Remix working and some Alternative Projects for some foreign Labels, in October 2005 he released his first soloist single "I Don't Care" on Expanded Music / ZYX, a Powerful Love Song in pure Hands Up Style.

"My first Single was a very personal story… about that kind of love that you feel for someone that you'll never be able to reach with your hands and lips, but only with your heart everytime you close your eyes… that one that would never look back to you the same way you dream her/him."

A lot of New Projects, Collaborations and Remixes followed that first single: like the one with DJ Cerla aka Floorfilla.
Sander won for four consecutive times the Remix Contests made by DJ Cerla for the release of his new singles "Kosmiklove", "Disco:Roller", "Komputermelody" and "Sister Golden Hair 2006". The Remixes were published on the official single releases.

Another strong collaboration is the one with DJ MILLO & DJ BONY from STAGEDIVERZ with the release of the Hardstyle single titled "Emergency, Evacuation!" always on Expanded Music / ZYX and the Official Remix of the famous 90s Happy Hardcore hit by RAMIREZ "El Gallinero".

Later in Summer 2006 Sander started without any doubt the biggest and most important collaboration: the one with the dance veteran LUCA ZETA!

They started working together on a project titled ZETAZEROSIX E.P., an E.P. with three Luca's past hit singles ("I'll Be Good To You", "Hold Me Tonight" and "Star") remixed and rearranged in Hands Up Style plus a fourth original song written by Luca and Sander together titled "Take Your Time". ZETAZEROSIX was just the first chapter of a very long and successful saga that continued with the following E.P.s:

ZETAZEROSEVEN in 2007 that included "Got To Believe", "I'm Ready" and "Song Of Joy" plus the original song by Luca and Sander "Ways Of Love"

ZETAZEROEIGHT in 2008 that included "Over The Clouds" and "Listen To Your Heart" plus the original songs by Luca and Sander "Welcome To My World" and "Jump Into My Arms"

ZETAZERONINE in 2009/10 that included "I'll Be There", "King Of The Night" and "Goodbye" plus the original song by Luca and Sander "Secret Love"

ZETAONEZERO in 2010/11 that included "Take Me", "Coming Back To You" and "Born To Win" plus the original song by Luca and Sander "New Generation"

With ZETAZEROEIGHT Luca and Sander started exploring a New Music Genre: JUMPSTYLE!
They made a Jumpstyle Remix of their first work together "Take Your Time" and always included Jumpstyle Remixes of their work in the following E.P.s and also started two new DJ Selections dedicated to all Jumpstyle DJs titled JUMP INVASION (Buy JUMP INVASION Vol. 1, Buy JUMP INVASION Vol. 2) and JUMP PARADE that released 2 volumes including Happy Jumpstyle Tracks plus Hard Jump Sound from all Europe.

"Jumpstyle music is amazing… it's black and white, love and fury, light and dark, happiness and darkness all mixed together in one Soundsyle. It can touch even deeper and brings back that great sensations from the first 90s Happy Hardcore that I love."

Luca and Sander are always working together with a lot of "Dance Passion" on new songs and projects and they also gave birth to an alternative Pop Dance project with the release of the single "Luka" (cover of the 80s song by Suzanne Vega), a special project that features all the great italian dance atmospheres mixed with a new sweet pop melodic sound.

In Summer 2011 they Released a New E.P. starting Officially a New "Spin-Off" Series featuring the New Dance Style experimented with "Luka" titled "Dancing In Memphis E.P.": inspired to the Music of the "King Of Rock" Elvis Presley the New Realese included Three Covers of Elvis Biggest Hits "Suspicious Minds", "Always On My Mind" and "Can't Help Falling In Love" plus the Brand New Original Song, written as always by Luca and Sander, "Lost Without You" where they experimented even more writing and singing following Elvis' style and mixing all with a New Powerful Dance Sound.

They are already working on their next E.P. ZETAONEONE that will be released in Fall 2011 and they are also working on the New Dance Cover E.P. that will Follow Up "Dancing In Memphis" New Style.

Many other Collaborations and Remixes with Big Dance Stars followed like with Danijay for the Remixes of his singles "Turn Around" and "The Sound Of Love".

Sander also gave life to many Musical Projects, everyone with a different style but always keeping music and melody as the key element.

The biggest is without any doubt RAVEKORR!

"Ravekorr is my inner child, my wildest side that will never stop ravin'! This Project gave me a lot of satisfaction and is always in constant evolution keeping always his Happy Hardcore soul as the main element."

A crazy Happy HardStyle / Jumpstyle project that brought back the pitched voices of the 90s Happy Hardcore with an hilarious touch.
RAVEKORR released the first E.P. with Emotive Sounds and the title was "Hardcadia E.P.", three tracks inside: "Junky Beatz", "Million Miles From Home" (Cover of the Dune' Song) and "You Dance".
The real success of this project came with a Bootleg titled "Help, Ayudame" (Cover of the Tony Ronald Song and the famous Happy Hardcore Hit "Wonderful Days") and signed as "Ravekorr vs. Sander"; the song gained high positons in various dance charts, like the Official m2o Dance Chart where it reached Number 1 in less than a week.

Unfortunately at the time it was impossible to make an official release, so after that incredible success Sander decided to start a new line of Productions near the style of Ravekorr but with a more Eurodance / Hands Up oriented soundstyle… name of the project: RAVEKORR vs. SANDER, the first official release of RKS was titled "Baila With Me".

"Baila With Me" featured the same funny pitched voice of Ravekorr with very happy style lyrics written in three languages mixed together (English, Spanish and Italian) and was another big success, so big that it was released a second time in 2009 ("Baila With Me 2009") featuring this time the beautiful voice of Elissa from OnKey Studios plus a new Jumpstyle Remix by Sander and a special guest Remix by Miradey.

In 2008 Ravekorr & Sander released another E.P. titled "Sleepover E.P." that included the new single "Sleepover" (with a special Dance Remix by Luca Zeta) and finally a remastered version of the first big success "Help, Ayudame" with a Jumpstyle Remix too.

Both Ravekorr and Ravekorr vs. Sander project are still very active and new productions are under work right now: Ravekorr will be out soon with a new Happy Hardstyle / Jumpstyle single and Ravekorr vs. Sander will be out with a new smashing song in December 2011.

Another important project by Sander is ASPYR: an alternative Hands Up project featuring hard melodies and vocals, focused on straight soundstyles and non-stop addicting rhythms.
Aspyr released two singles with the famous German Label Cuepoint - Cuedance: "Back 4 You" and "Hear It Callin'" featuring the voice of Jessica from OnKey Studios.
Right now another Aspyr single is in production, featuring the same hard, straight and addicting hands up style.

One year later (in 2009) Sander released his New Single titled "We Are", a melodic song with a classic touch of pure Italodance sound year 2000 style featuring the voice of Angelina from OnKey Studios.
The Single included two remixes, other than the original dance version, one in Hands Up Style by Sander and the other in pure Jumpstyle Sound by Luca Zeta & Sander.
"We Are" received a good response due to his easy and slower sound style more near to Italodance.

Finally in Summer 2011 after a year of hard and passionate work Sander will Release his New Dance Creation featuring, once again, the wonderful & fantastic Voice of the beautiful Singer Elissa title of the project: "Forever Para Ti"!
Following as always his heart, Sander' song tells the story of a lost Summer Love that was born right from the first look and died with the end of the hot season right when everyone goes back to everyday reality.

"What I felt in my haert for that Girl was Unique and Very Strong... so Strong that for the First Time in my life I decided to write and explicitly dedicate a song to someone I Loved. She was from Spain and since my Spanish wasn't so good we were talking a bit in Italian, a bit in English and a bit in Spanish; it was Our Special Language and that's why I decided to write the same way we were talking. Unfortunalety when Summer Ended, when the distance started to hurt both of our hearts and when she started facing again the reality of everyday life she decided to end this story and leave me. Yeah reality can be a hard beast to beat, even for a dreamer like me sometime, but that love, Our Love, Will Last Forever in my Music and in my Dreams... No Matter what Will Happen, the Power of Music Will Make It Last Forever!"

The Realese of "Forever Para Ti" is divided Two Parts that will Include a Total of Six Versions that goes from Commercial Dance, Easy Elektro, Raggaeton, Hands Up, Jumpstyle and even Happy Hardcore! Part One is set to be Realesed in July 2011, while Part Two in September 2011 and will feature a Brand New Special Vocal Guest that will leave everyone AMAZED!

But Sander surprises aren't Finished Yet! There are a lot of Special Projects that will be Realesed from Semptember 2011 to December 2011 including the Brand New "SANDER feat. ELISSA" Single" that will keep as always Music First and Feelings FIRST!

"I'll always keep on doing what I like… I don't care about what style is more cool at moment or what could be more commercial. Music comes from the heart, and I'll always follow my heart… I'm a Raver and I'll always be a Raver!"
