Born in Milan (IT), 1989. Jacopo was the first ‘non-american’ artist signed by Walt Disney Records. He started working as a tv actor at the age of 5 and he got his first record deal with EMI in 2006. At 17 he got signed by WDR and started working on his first album ‘1989’ between London, L.A. and Milan; meanwhile he played Troy Bolton in ‘High School Musical - on tour’ (+250 shows) and released the single ‘Grido’ included in the ‘High School Musical 3: Senior Year’ ost album. In 2009, he went on tour with the Jonas Brothers as opening act and released ‘Jacopo Sarno’ (EP). In 2010 he moves to New York to study acting at the New York Film Academy and he develops new singing skills at New York Vocal Coaching, with Justin Stoney. In the big apple he meets Marcus Milius (The Milkman & Sons) and takes harmonica & blues classes. The newborn friendship with his master gets him into studying american music, from trad-jazz to bluegrass and roots, and he gets the chance to play gigs around the City. Going back and forth between NYC and Milan, he starts directing music videos and founds a film company that will later become his own record label: Cloverthree Music. Jacopo is ready to release a new album, ‘Chapter 1’ (2017), produced by Fausto Cogliati, in which he dives deep into songwriting and finds a new sound that puts together american music and italian-european identity, mixing acoustic and electronic elements.
