Filippo Bonamici was born in Rome to an Italian father and a German mother. Around the age of 10 he started singing and playing guitar - he soon started his first band with his brother and two neighbors. Aged 14, he was sent to Cistercian College Roscrea, a Catholic boarding school in Ireland, where his musical education formed and developed gradually. After school, he lived in Madrid and Munich, working in different Jobs, before returning to Rome. In 2012, Bonamici moved to Berlin and started studying Design at the renowned Berlin University of the Arts (UdK). After several years of intense study and musical abstinence, he discovered fresh inspiration and positive distractions that shaped his songwriting. He dropped out of University in 2015 to pursue a career in music. Such new motivation led to the formation of Fil Bo Riva in 2015 and a brief period of busking. During this time, he met guitarist Felix A. Remm (first member of the live band) and producer Robert Stephenson. Together they started recording songs that would become Fil Bo Rivas acclaimed first EP, If You’re Right, It’s Alright.
