Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
Sonohra is an Italian duo made up of brothers Diego and Luca Fainello from Verona, Italy. In 2008, they were winners of the Festival of the Song of San Remo.

The brothers were born into an artistic family in Verona, Italy. Their father was an artistic photographer and bass guitar player in a band, their mother was a singer and their grandfather a violinist, entrusting to the boys an infallible tool. This formation from house materialized in the Academy of Art of Verona.

Luca, being the oldest, was the first to seriously consider music as a career. His decision was the biggest contributing factor that led Diego to eventually take the same path.

At first they were known under the name 2ttO when they sung the theme song of the program 'UFO Baby' and that way they published a single called 'Grido'. At 29 and 25, they change their name to 'Domino' and recorded the song 'Come tu mi vuoi', before releasing their first music video.

In 2007 an English girl in a tour in Venice inspired them to write the song L'amore, which was produced by Roberto Tini. With this one they entered the Sanremo Festival in 2008 (now with the name Sonohra), a contest of Italian music from the city of San Remo in the "giovanni" category and the night of their presentation Sonohra gave a performance as if it was his last spectacle. And before the festival was concluded, the brothers turned out to be crowned “Best artist revelation”, giving place to an explosion of popularity difficult to articulate. On February 29, 2008 their album Liberi da sempre was published, sending Luca and Diego in a gigantic tour along Italy.

After winning in the category Best New Artist on May 15, 2008 in the TRL Awards (2008) in Naples, on the following day their second single,of their debut album, Love Show was launched. Finally, the third single Salvami was published on September 5. The song talks about a good friend that the brothers lost in a traffic accident.

They also won in the categories Best Band and Best New Act in the italian Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards (for which they did the theme song with Love Show changing the lyrics) and in the MTV Europe Music Awards they were named in the category of Best Italian Act.

In November, 2008 their first CD/DVD Live was published with the name Sweet Home Verona. It was carried out on September 6 in the Roman Theater. The songs in this CD/DVD are accompanied only by chordophones and violins. The DVD placed them suddenly in the first place of the Italian DVD-Charts and also between the Top 30 of the Album - market forecast.

On March 17, 2009 Libres was published in Latin America, the version in spanish of the album Liberi da sempre. They made a big effort, since they are only fluent in italian. Recording in Spanish represented a real challenge, forcing them to train and be able to get connected in a vocal and emotional level in a foreign language. The first launched single of the album was Besos Faciles, the version in spanish of the song Love Show with three Bonus Tracks: L'amore (Italian), Io e te(Italian) and Love Show (English). With this album the duet reached the following positions in the lists of Latin America: Costa Rica (#10), Mexico (#25), Argentina (#35) and Chile (#79). For the presentation and promotion of their album they traveled on March 22 to Latin America and gave concerts in almost all the countries (Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, the United States, between others).

On May 14 they traveled back home to Italy and received in the TRL Awards 2009 in Trieste (in which they played the version in english of their song Io e te) the award in the category Best Riempipiazza.
