Person: B. Sinclaire

Producer Bratt Sinclaire - his real name is Andrea Leonardi - was born april 1967 in Milan, Italy.

Bratt's parents were both high school math teachers so that he grew up in a pretty high culture environment but since the early years of his life Sinclaire felt that college was not the best path for him. During school period (late 70's) Bratt fell under the music spell becoming a big Elvis Presley's fan but in 1980 he was literally "kidnapped" by AC/DC's 6 strings call.

In the next 3 years Bratt started studying music theory, spent a lot of time on his guitar and took all those typical steps that teenagers usually take when they are cought in the music trap...like: putting together a band in order to perform at the annual school summer party, or saving money to buy a brand new Gibson SG (Angus Young style) and so on... Very soon school was replaced by music as the main activity so that in 1984 Bratt left high school to join a 3 years long jazz/guitar course.

Thanks to great Contini's business capabilities and Avex's full trust in such a talented pool, A-Beat-C had the chance to enter the legendary Japanese pop-market by the rear door so that a few of the best labels tunes were chosen to be covered by the most famous pop artist in Japan. Bratt had 6 tunes covered and some of them ranked very high in the top 10 pop-chart.
