Since 2005 he has worked as a music producer with the poet Marcella Boccia, and a number of Italian and international singers, such as Jovanotti.
On Jan. 1, 2010, the group released "Baciami Ancora (Kiss Me Again)" for the soundtrack of a film by Gabriele Muccino.

Even though Jovanotti has never had a UK chart hit under his own name, he was briefly known in the United Kingdom as the presenter of the DEF II programme Gimme 5.
Early personalities on this radio station include: Claudio Cecchetto, Gerry Scotti, Gerard Ottoboni, Joe D. (DJ Jaydee), Molella, Fargetta, Lorenzo Cherubini a.k.a. (Jovanotti), Roberto Ferrari, Linus, Albertino, Marco Biondi, Amadeus and Rosario Fiorello.
Initially part of Janet Street Porter's DEF II strand, alongside Rapido and Jovanotti's Gimme 5, the show outlasted the 'yoof-TV' strand and became established in BBC 2's early 1990s evening schedule.
After spending four weeks in the top 20, peaking at number 6 during its third week, the song fell out the chart, but re-entered it in March of the same year, following Jovanotti's performance during the Sanremo Music Festival 2008.

Launched during the Sanremo Music Festival 2008, where Jovanotti was invited as a guest, the single became a commercial success, reaching the top spot of the Italian Singles Chart for eight consecutive weeks, later becoming the best-selling single of 2008 in Italy.

The song was premiered during the fourth night of the 58th Sanremo Music Festival, when Jovanotti performed as a musical guest.

Jovanotti also added that both songs are based on a very simple harmonic line, which is adopted by houndreds of songs and which somebody believes was invented by Johann Sebastian Bach.
Among the artists who performed with the singer were Dulce Pontes, Rosario Flores, Jovanotti, Carlinhos Brown and Olodum.
In 2005 he returned to Italy and participated in Ron's project "Ma Quando Dici Amore" as a musician and arranger, during which he worked with Claudio Baglioni, Jovanotti, Elisa, Carmen Consoli and Lucio Dalla.
In 2007-2008 he teamed with Italian rockstars Jovanotti and Vasco Rossi for the documentary film La Luna di Giorno - Un ritratto in Movimento (The Moon by Day - A Portrait in Movement, edited in DVD and number one in the charts in January—March 2008) and the music video Il Mondo Che Vorrei.
