Early days edit
Maxi Trusso started his first steps in music at St. George's College, Argentina, where a group of senior students (Esteban Artica, Giovanni Miano Macadam and Anthony Macadam) motivated him to give his first ‘a capella’ shows in their school freetime in the early 80s.
During the 90s while living in England. During that time he started working in fashion industry, music, participating in projects and theater plays with European writers.
Later, he moved to Italy and formed an electro-pop group called "Roy Vedas" with an Italian artist and edited his first discographic work under the English label Mercury Records. His first hit was a retro-futuristic styled single called "Fragments of life", which reached one of the first places on the Top of the Pops chart. The British magazine The Face chose it as one of the best three tracks of the decade.
With Roy Vedas, he played in different European countries, such as Greece, Denmark and Sweden. They also played as supporting act for The Rolling Stones gigs in Turkey.
