Ryan Paris, born Fabio Roscioli (March 12, 1953)[1] is an Italian musician and actor who gained international popularity in 1983 for the worldwide hit single "Dolce Vita", written and produced by Pierluigi Giombini.[2]
"Dolce Vita" was released in the United Kingdom on the Carrere Records label, distributed by RCA and spent ten weeks in the UK Singles Chart, peaking at Number 5.[3] Paris continued to release records in the mid-1980s and 1990s. In 2010, he made a comeback with a new song, "I Wanna Love You Once Again", which he wrote and composed. The song became popular with 1980s music fans.[citation needed] At the end of that year, Paris co-produced a remix of "Dolce Vita" which peaked at number 54 in the official French club chart.
In 2013 the new song "Sensation of Love", written and produced by Ryan Paris, was released as a single by Bulgarian artist Miroslav Kostadinov, and it peaked at number 15 in the official Bulgarian CD Chart. A new version of the song (with a more 1980s vibe) co-produced by Paris and sung in a duet with Valerie Flor, was released in March 2014 with much sucess, and it was ranked number one on more than 60 Italo disco radio stations around the world.[citation needed]. From that moment on, all the new songs from Paris peaked in the Top 10 of the 80's music specialized radios in the world, bringing Paris back to the fold as one of the most acknowledged artist from that era of popular music.
Ryan Paris continued to record and produce songs; his most recent releases included the songs "You Are My Life", "Buonasera Dolce Vita" and "Love on Ice", all of them appearing on the Top 10 rankings of many worlwide Web and FM radios. In december 2017 Paris sung "Dolce Vita" in the Catalan language for the foundation La Marato.
