Cortez, an Italian artist from Rome, was known by his real name Alessandro Bagagli for his English production, 7 rock albums available digitally in streaming and download on the main e-music stores: "Under the Gun" and "Magic in the Air" (2013), "Shouted Songs" (2014), "Primal Life" (2015), "Live & Die" (2016), "Out in the Nowhere" (2017) and "Highways & Cigars" (2018).
With the classic rock riffs of his 1952 Telecaster, the chords and licks of the Byrds-style 12-string Rickenbacker and the extended, powerful vocals, his music owes its influence to artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, John Mellencamp and Pearl. Jam.
He started in 1994 with PolyGram / Mercury under the stage name Alex Baggi and an Italian rock album called "Un po 'di Sentimento".
After his experience as Alessandro Bagagli, he collaborated with many artists from all over the world on two of his projects with the name The Eve, realising two albums, "The Eve" and "Entropy", and one single, "I’ll Make it Up for You", all released in 2019 and available in all e-music stores for streaming and downloading.
At the end of this experience, the Italian artist decided to enrich his musical path starting with a new stage name, Cortez and two brand new works in Italian, two rock albums called "Poeta di Strada" (Street Poet) and "Nel Colore della Notte" (In the Color of the Night), both available for streaming and download on all e-music stores.
From 2 October 2020 Cortez's new disco funk and soul album "Come to Poppa" is available, again in English.
