It all starts from the not-so-distant lockdown era. A group of friends decide to create a Whatsapp group with the sole purpose of having fun to the sounds of Battle Freestyle and themed lyrics. The results of the participants? They are bad for all but one. Hence was born the project Gonzalo Baby Boy, pseudonym of Sebastiano Sicurezza, a Sicilian actor with a soul steeped in Urban, Black and Hip Hop musical influences in all its declinations.

His crew consists of hundreds of brothers and sisters scattered around the globe, but only 6 of them accompany Gonzalo on every adventure. A team composed of videomakers, producers, DJs, designers, with their parallel projects have been surfing the Italian scene for years; and so it was that "Gonzalo" from a game becomes a project. They amalgamate ideas, words and musical intuitions, with a view to creating a sonic, visual and performative product in the strictest sense.

The first project, The Initiator Mixtape, is released in 2021 and consists of 20 tracks, the lyrics of which are precisely taken from that famous Whatsapp group, re-recorded and arranged on famous instrumentals in a raw and sincere way, the same ones on which they were originally conceived. Each track is accompanied by a video clip, intentionally inspired by old music album covers. From there, a succession of singles pave the way for new recipes and experiments, which will be encapsulated in the forthcoming EP, the release date of which is still unknown, for mysterious reasons.
