Fil Bo Riva’s vision was simple – to craft songs that would sound fresh and relevant for more than just a few years. The result is BEAUTIFUL SADNESS, a compilation of thirteen timeless songs that are playful, anthemic, and heartfelt.
The album is everything Bonamici set out to achieve; immensely proud of his heritage, one of his dreams is to prove that artists from Italy, or from anywhere, can succeed on their own terms in international markets without downplaying their roots. Now, aged 26 and the author of such an assured collection of songs, this dream is now a reality.

Born and growing up in Rome, before moving to Ireland in his early teens, Bonamici’s musical education formed and developed gradually. Eventually, this passion pushed him to Berlin in 2012, where after several years of study and musical abstinence, he discovered fresh inspiration and positive distractions that shaped his songwriting. Such new motivation led to the formation, in early 2015, of the act that is Fil Bo Riva.
Fil Bo Riva is not what you would call a regular band; it’s more of a project, combining the talents of two close friends – Bonamici and guitarist Felix A. Remm, and producer Robert Stephenson who recorded Bonamici’s first EP IF YOU’RE RIGHT, IT’S ALRIGHT. He’s keen to stress the importance that both Remm and Stephenson had in this regard, helping to shape his music and develop ideas, coaxing out the soul of each track.
“I see it almost as a mix between a solo project and a band,”he said. “Without them, the music would have sounded very different indeed.”
The Berlin-based project started getting attention soon after the release of the first single “Like Eye Did” in 2016 and multiple European supports, including Matt Corby and Milky Chance.
BEAUTIFUL SADNESS is the result of Fil Bo Riva’s hard work and determination over the years. With its release accompanied by a European tour, Fil Bo Riva stands ready to shape and evolve into something truly special.
BEAUTIFUL SADNESS is available for purchase and stream on all platforms now!

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
