BIO

Kaos is part of the first generation of Italian B-Boys, getting involved as a break dancer and writer between 1985-87, and helping to develop the then new Italian Hip Hop scene.

In 1988, Kaos formed the Fresh Press Crew along with Sean, DJ Skizo, Soulboy, and Topcat, which rapped in English like many early Italian groups. They were soon joined by DJ Gruff and the group changed its name to Radical Stuff. The group released two singles in 1989, "Let's get dizzy" and "I guess you know," and followed up the next year with a live album along with the Greco Bros. The group's personnel changed to include Sean, DJ Skizo, Dre Love, and Kaos. These artists released the double LP entitled Hardaswallow in 1993, and then the two singles "On the run" and "Summer Fever."

That year Kaos released his first rap in Italian, "Don Kaos," on DJ Gruff's compilation album. He followed that song with a series of contributions to other rapper's albums — "Ciao Ciao" on Colle der fomento's first CD, "I fieri Bboyz" on Neffa's first solo release, "Stategie dell'universo" on Neffa's follow-up 107 Elementi album, and "Quando vengo a prenderti" on the soundtrack to the Manetti Bros' film Torino Boys.

In 1996, Kaos released his debut album Fastido, which won him national acclaim as a hardcore rapper. He produced a series of remixes from the album over the next two years.

Kaos, Sean, and Deda (now called MD) created the group Merda & Melma and released their CD by the same name in 1999.

At the close of 1999, Kaos released his second solo recording -/-/-/-/-, with help from long time friends MD, Neffa, Gopher, and Sean.
