Italian singer-songwriter Marco Mengoni will release an iBook Author on December 3 on iTunes, called “#PRONTOACORREREILMIOVIAGGIO” (“ready to run my journey”). He is the first Italian singer to release an iBook Author and the third in the world in the field of music: before him, only Coldplay and Led Zeppelin came out with a similar project.
It is an interactive book written entirely by Mengoni, made of videoclips, images, thoughts and ideas he will be updating in the next few months. A sort of digital diary where he collects the experiences and emotions of the past year, which was very successful for him.
Mengoni rose to fame in 2009, after winning the third series of the talent show X Factor, Italy edition. In 2013, he won the 63rd Sanremo Music Festival, with his song, “L’essenziale.” During his career, Mengoni has received several awards, including seven Wind Music Awards and two Italian MTV Music Awards. In 2010 he also became the first Italian artist to win the MTV Europe Music Award for Best European Act. Mengoni was born in Ronciglione near Viterbo (Lazio). “L’essenziale” was included in his second studio album "#prontoacorrere," released in Italy in March 2013.
Mengoni's iBook Author costs 5.99 euros and can be bought on iTunes starting December 3, with pre-orders already available.
