Bio

Italian musician Ferdinando Arnò is internationally renowned for his poise and poignancy as a producer and composer. He’s penned and produced radio hits for other artists, written and composed some of our most beloved TV jingles, and scored emotionally resonant incidental music for popular television shows. He’s now stepping out as a composer and bandleader with his own group, Common Mama. The sweetly winsome indie pop on the group’s debut, (quiet, please!), is already causing a stir with the leadoff single, netting a plum TV placement.

common-mama-ep

The EP is both mesmerizing and comforting. The gorgeously tender “Downtown Strolling Downtown” features the singer Jon Kenzie’s sweetly weary vocals elegantly accompanied by a beautifully hypnotic piano performance. The track “Possibly Mine” showcases Common Mama in full bloom, with a richly dynamic band nimbly navigating the sense of wonder and awe inherent in the track with silken grace. The EP title track patiently unfolds with dynamics sensitive to the introspective nature of the song. “’This Dance is Random’ encapsulates the fragility of life. It’s the portrait of a delicate soul who can’t deal with the present and bets all he has on the future,” Arnò explains.
