IT ALL BEGAN
It began in the early 1970s with their Italian parents, Mamma Rosa (singer) and Papà Toni (singer/pianist), who formed a band and performed at various events such as parties, weddings, and business functions. In 1977, Piero, the eldest brother, was born, and at a young age, he joined his parents on stage, entertaining crowds and showcasing his talent for singing.
More about Piero Esteriore
Piero’s decision to pursue a career as a singer paved the way for the Esteriore Brothers’ musical journey. In 1984, Mimmo was born, further complementing the family performances. In 1995 and 1997, the family was completed with the birth of Gabriele and Amedeo respectively. The four brothers grew up immersed in music, practising and performing with their parents, and their shared love for music bonded them closer together.
Over the next years, the Esteriore Brothers participated in numerous musical events, honing their skills and gaining experience. They appeared on TV shows in Switzerland, and requests started coming in from Italy. In 2019, they made their first appearance on Italian television, on the show “Tu Si Que Vales” on Canale 5 (Mediaset), where they impressed an audience of 8 million viewers with their performance. They felt the love of the Italian audience!
In 2020, the Esteriore Brothers had plans for their first concerts in Italy, but unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted their plans. However, they didn’t let that deter them, and through a partnership with Migrolino AG, they released their first album “To Get Her” on 04 December 2020. The album was sold in all Migrolino shops, with 3,500 copies sold in 353 locations, as well as online.
The Esteriore Brothers aimed to take their music to greater heights. They envisioned their music and band as the main feature, creating a brand around “The Esteriore Brothers.” Their goal was to make their music known not only in Italy and Switzerland but also to share their passion for the magic and emotion of Italian music sung by the four brothers.
ABOUT PIERO
Piero Esteriore grew up in Aesch and learned to play the drums from the age of six. After the tenth school year he began an apprenticeship as a hairdresser. Parallel to his schooling and apprenticeship, he worked on a career as a musician.
Esteriore moved into the German Big Brother house near Cologne on March 16, 2009, as a candidate for the ninth season, but left voluntarily a week later. In 2011, Esteriore appeared as a candidate on the casting show Das Supertalent on the television station RTL and in October of the same year, Blick reported that Esteriore had debts of almost a million francs.
At the Theater St. Gallen, the character of “Gary Coleman” in the musical Avenue Q was amusingly adapted in German with the persona of Piero Esteriore.
Musical career
In 2004, Esteriore took part in the first season of the Swiss television talent show MusicStar, where he came third. In the same year, he represented – supported by his MusicStar opponents Sergio Luvualu and Tina Masafret – with the title Celebrate! Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest in Istanbul. He failed in the semifinals without receiving a single rating point. His performance was named sentence of the year in Switzerland with the slogan “Switzerland – zero points”.
Esteriore’s debut album 1 Secondo made it to number three in the Swiss charts at the end of January 2005. The debut single Mammamia reached number ten in the Swiss single charts. The song Salta from 2005 was the last one to make it into the hit parade, reaching number 38 at its highest position.
Despite Esteriore’s great media presence after the Ringier incident (he rammed his car into the entrance of the Ringier publishing house, which he disliked[5]), the album Io vivo, which was released a few days later, only achieved moderate success. The album entered the charts at number 34 in its first week and fell to number 95 in its second week. After three weeks, it finally disappeared from the top 100 entirely.
Esteriore toured for almost five years with singer Andreas Gabalier in Germany and Austria. On May 8, 2016 he released the album Zwei2due. It consists of two CDs with Italian and Swiss-German songs. For the first time, the Italian songs were also published in Swiss German.
