P. Lion

Pelandi took the name of "P. Lion" because of the three "P"s in his name and because the symbol of his family is a lion. (He is of noble descendance, his father being the count of Alzano Lombardo). He started to play the piano and write his own music at a young age.

Little is known about his private life. He divorced in 1990 after fourteen years of marriage and now lives with his son Edoardo.

P. Lion's achieved international fame with his two hits "Happy Children" (1983, produced by Davide Zambelli of the band Scotch) and "Dream" (1984). "Dream" was the theme of the French TV and radio chart show Top 50 1984-93, and "Happy Children" has been remixed to become the new theme of the French Top 50 in France since 2000.

P. Lion's first album "Springtime", was released in 1984. He contributed significantly to its realization, writing music and lyrics for all the songs, working on the arrangements with Zambelli and Walter Verdi, co-producing and playing keyboards.

After his first album, P. Lion signed to the Milanese label Discomagic Records, the biggest dance label in Italy at the time. There, he produced his own singles such as "Believe Me" and "Under The Moon" with Durium. In 1995 he released "A Step In The Right Way", an album with FMA and the publisher Allione. He collaborates as arranger on some productions such as Betty Villani and Tony Sheridan.
