Gianfranco Bortolotti is an Italian producer and manager of Media Records and Media Studio.[1] He was a member of Cappella,[3] who had several hits, and Fits of Gloom, who had a UK #47 hit with Heaven[4] and a UK #49 hit with The Power of Love featuring Lizzy Mack.[4]
Originally becoming a DJ to supplement his university days, he helped distribute records for DJ Pierre and after scoring a few minor hits re-invested money back into the Media Records.[2] The success of Media enabled him to invest in at least ten different studios, producing hits at a sweatshop pace.[2]
