David Dileo, also known as Boosta, (born 27 September 1974) is an Italian singer, songwriter, musician, record producer, DJ, journalist, writer, and television host. He is known as the co-founder of the alternative rock band, Subsonica, which has been honored with the Amnesty Italy Award, MTV Europe Music Award, Italian Music Awards, and Grinzane Cavour Prize.^{[citation needed]}

Professional background

Musician

Boosta engages in many different musical projects: from the older Iconoclash (Sony) in 2004 and Caesar Palace (Universal),to a rock album of the trio together with two components of Linea77. It is also worth mentioning the participation in a volume of Paris Dernière. This volume is a famous selection with a "French touch" of the coolest covers in the world (Boosta participates with his rendition of "Fly Me to the Moon" by Frank Sinatra).^{[citation needed]}

Remixer

In 2011, at the request of Caterina Caselli’s SUGAR, he enrolls in the project DISCOverITALY, remixing in a disco style the biggest pop hits of Italian music of the 70s and 80s.

Composer

As a writer and composer, he has written for: Mina (two songs: "Non ti voglio piu’” included on the album "Easy" in 2009 and "Hourglass" for the album "Candy" in 2010), Malika Ayane (the song " Shine "on the album" Ricreazione "of 2012, in which Boost also cooperates for the arrangement of" Guess What?? ").

He has made a cover of Enrico Ruggeri’s cult song "Il Mare D'Inverno", added to the tribute cd for Milanese singer-songwriters called "Le Canzoni ai Testimoni" (2011).

Together with Skin from Skunk Anansie he wrote the song "The Last 1con" which was spreaded on the web.

The commitment as an artistic producer evolves in a natural way: EMI, Subsonica’s record label, ask in 2012 to think of a song for Jessica Brando (a young performer also from the label EMI looking for a more mature artistic definition): the song "Sei", with music, arrangements and artistic production of David Dileo (and lyrics from Brando), is released on iTunes under the alias "b + B" and gets a good response from the public and critics.

Producer

In 2012 he also started working on an artistic production with Erica Mou, a young artist from the label SUGAR. He wrote two songs for her and takes care of the sound of the album, which will be released in 2013.

Radio/Television host

In 2009/2010 he also starts airing shows on the radio.

In 2012 he was chosen as the new face of the cultural channel of Sky, Sky HD ART. He will be hosting a daily program called "Boo(k) sta: Libri che suonano", airing in January 2013.

Editor

In 2010 he was at the helm with Benedetta Mazzini pm on Rai Radio 2 with the program "Open Couple" airs Saturday and Sunday at 17.00.
