Biography
Oscar Prudente, born on January 9, 1944 in Rossiglione, Genoa, Italy, is an Italian singer-songwriter, composer, and record producer. At a young age, he studied drums, piano and guitar. In 1959, while attending high school, he was chosen by Colin Hicks as the drummer for his European tour. Upon returning to Italy, Prudente became the drummer for Luigi Tenco's live performances. He released several singles in the 1960s, participating in music festivals such as Cantagiro and Un disco per l'estate. A pivotal moment in his career was his collaboration with Ivano Fossati, with whom he composed hits for the progressive rock group Delirium and released the album Poco prima dell'aurora (1973). Together, they also wrote "Pensiero stupendo" for Patty Pravo, which topped Number 1 on the Italian hit parade. In November 2023, Prudente and Fossati, along with Universal Music Group, sued Public Enemy for plagiarism of their song "Jesahel".
