Soloist career

The long collaborations with Emisfero Boreale and with Italian and other musicians from all the world gave birth to his soloist career in 1987.

Banana Joker travelled to Australia the first time in 1987, where he began a really serious and important collaboration with the singer Claudio Parente, who joined "Emisfero Boreale" during his stay in Italy (different periods from 1983 to 1985). Claudio Parente became a soloist artist and singer since 1978 and he became the winner of a lot of international festivals in Australia and South East Asia after his departure to Australia in the year 1982.

In Australia Banana Joker, Claudio Parente and William Marino (guitar and electronic consultant) realized in 1987 the song "Future is bright" that was the demo-song of Yamaha instruments (DX7 and QX3) at the most important musical fair in Milan "SIM" in the year 1989. At the same time he realized with Chus Fernandez and Emisfero Boreale the sequel of "Rumours from the sky" (Game Over) and others pieces as "Sistema di Stelle" that they never published but they always played in a lot of concerts.

Emisfero Boreale took its end after 15 years of activity and Banana Joker finally became Pasquale Petrossi and began his soloist career.
Then he went to Australia to work on his own career.
