The Italian boy band Studio 3 formed in Milan in the fall of 2005, comprising the singers Salvatore "Gabriel" Valerio (born July 24, 1984), Marco Venturini (born January 24, 1981), and Andrea "Vetro" Vetralla (born May 28, 1982). Their blend of beautiful faces, carefully crafted look, easy melodies, and vocal harmonies immediately reached a wide audience composed for the most part of girls in their teens, who transformed their singles "Solo Te," "Forse un Angelo," and "Potrei" into smash hits, leading the album Forse un Angelo (2006) up to the Top 20 of the Italian charts, where it stayed for five months, while the band was invited to perform in important TV shows such as the Italian Top of the Pops and CD:Live. At the end of 2003 Studio 3 recorded the Spanish versions of "Solo Te" and "Forse un Angelo," and in January 2007 they played in Miami in a special concert for the Latin American public. Lentamente, their second album, released in June 2007, was another a huge success, as were the singles "Alice," "Lentamente," and "Voci Su Voci." ~ Aurelio Pasini
