A man of undisputed talent is the conductor Gerry Scotti, who has always distinguished himself from his peers through his enormous professionalism. It must be said that the man first took his first steps in the world of entertainment by collaborating with some local radio stations in the late seventies, starting with Radio Hinterland Milano2, past Radio Milan International. He edited the columns of Il Puntaspilli and Il Mercatino delle Flea, where shoppers sold items they no longer needed.
Gerry Scotti’s talent was obvious Claudio Cecchetto, who proposed him to become the first voice of Radio Deejay, convincing him to turn down a big proposal abroad. In an interview, the host shared how he told his parents he wanted to work in show business, saying, “I had a great salary, lots of benefits, even a paying dentist. So when I said at home that I wanted to indulge in the show, my mom almost got a cuddle.”
The first television show directed by the same was precisely the musical show called Deejay Television, which was followed by many others including Campionissimo, Do you know the last one?, Word of mouth, Who Wants to be a Millionaire up to Italia’s Got Talent and Caduta Libera.
Despite the resounding success, the man had to face a serious drama that changed him forever.
