Career

Ezio was formed, by a duo of guitarists, Ezio Lunedei—of Italian descent—and Mark "Booga" Fowell—from Kenya. The former had been working as a surveyor and the latter studding to be a biochemist. The band self released there first two albums, before being picked up by Arista Records, in 1995.
Their profile was raised considerably when their song Cancel Today was chosen by Tony Blair for his Desert Island Discs selection. This lead the song to enjoy "unforeseen airplay" and discussion, and reportedly lead to shops selling out of their CDs.
The band has released eight studio albums, one compilation album, four live albums and three videos / DVDs.
