Biography
Christophe Vella aka Snowball Rose was born in Bastia (Corsica Island), on March 26, 1979.
During his childhood he was nourished by the sound of his father's guitar. He was introduced to Blues and Jazz music in his younger age but he made his own musical choices a few years later when he discovered the sound of Rock and Roll from the sixties, The Doors, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Jimmy Hendrix, Eric Clapton .
He fell in love with this music filled with freedom, with its "dirty sound" full of improvisations mixing blues, rock and folk music. He will have his first guitar on his 14th Christmas and this will be his life's reason for the years to come. For months locked up in his room he was learning the basics of the blues and rock music and the art of improvisation leading him to play for several bands as solo guitarist or as rhythmic guitarist.
At the age of 20 he embraces a military career for the French Navy, he travels a lot and has a fairly decent salary but music misses in his life. So after 3 years he leaves the Navy and short after he met a nightlife girl who will introduce him to electronic music, but the real revelation will come from the album "Kid A" by Radiohead. For him at this time the electronic music incarnated more than ever freedom and infinity. Later he acquired a computer to concretize his dreams and phantasms while enriching his electro culture. Finally he met «Luluxpo » the DJ's from Geneva who made him discover, during a memorable night, what the art of "djing" is. He buy's a pair of turntables and has only one thing in mind, make people DANCE!!!.
