I’m sure you heard Bizarrap#32 s Music Sessions with Cazzu, or Oscu’s “They Didn’t Say Anything.” Behind both hits, as of many more, different producers work to portray the new local scene to the fullest. One of them is Renzo Luca Chiumiento. At the age of 28, his total produced songs exceed 300 million streams on digital platforms. “All the national music received a new emerging generation that comes to mark a new era and create a renewing musical movement that put Argentina back on the axis of the region,” evaluates the young man, in dialogue with this medium. He currently works with Bizarrap, Oscu, Kodigo, Cardellino, Crossing the Charco and Alejandro Lerner; so, it oscillates between trap, hip hop, indie, pop, rock, funk, R&B. “I feel like all styles are merging and cooling down in a way I didn’t see long ago,” he says.***Renzo was born in La Plata. His first connection to music was at the age of 12, as his father was the saxophonist of a well-known jazz band in the neighborhood. “I had some manuals at home of harmony and solfeo for beginners that helped me get started on all this. Over time technology began to take over me also as I was a big fan of video games,” he confesses, “He began to explore that path with programming and role-playing: “I felt that when I made music on the computer I was somehow merging the two knowledge that I was most passionate about,” he confesses.
Thus he downloaded Guitar Pro and Cakewalk, in order to be able to produce his own songs for the band he had with his schoolmates at the time: “That was the beginning of a long history that led me to go through different musical institutions where I followed (and continue to form),” says Gilardo Gilardi Conservatory, the National School of Fine Arts and the School of Contemporary Music (EMC). That path in music nurtured him for his side as a producer: “I like to think that I accompany the artists and put on the T-shirt of their projects, which I get on the boat to give everything of me so that we can reach the best port. I also have to imagine myself as a medium between him and his music, I work for and for them as they are the ones who will have to defend their music for a long time when it is finished. I was an artist and I learned to beat up what it costs to make a career, the blood and sweat that comes with it, so I always put myself in his shoes and try to be the producer that I would have liked to have”, he says. “It’s a little difficult for everyone. I personally get caught at a beautiful time, although sometimes I am glad to do so much things, having to move less allowed me to connect much more with myself, my work and the studio,” he says.
If we talk about the emerging producer scene, there can be no miss of Bizarrap. Renzo Luca reportedly came into contact with him through Coscu, who wanted to produce the remix of “Forgive Me,” FMK’s song.” We instantly hit a terrible laburo wave, enjoyed a lot and felt super comfortable. The strawberry of dessert was that the remix was also a success, so later Biza called me back to work with him, which for me is a huge pleasure,” he reveals. He participated in Music Sessions #34 with Khea: “I am grateful for life for having known him and I always leave all the best of me for each new BZRP Session, as each is a different creative space and deserves to be treated with total depth,” he explains.
In February this year Renzo and “Oscu” received a Spotify Awards nomination for their single “They Didn’t Say Nothing” which remained on the charts of the Southern Cone’s most listened songs for more than 3 months.” It was a nice thing because I didn’t expect it, I got a very pleasant surprise. With Oscu we started making songs in December 2018 and we would never have expected something like this to come to us, except with a song that from the stylistics had nothing to do with what was going on at the time,” he says. He then adds: “It’s all a merit of him that undertook such an original quest and was encouraged to carry it forward without worrying about anything else. I think that’s the sense of being an artist, going forward and breaking without fear, I value it very much.”
Your journey is just beginning. As the artist sums up: “I feel like I’m going through different movies and that feeds me on different languages, different stories and different places, the world is a place where a lot of things happen, sometimes it’s good to soak up different messages.”
