Born in Brescia, Italy, Paola showed a strong passion and a marked inclination for music ever since she was a child and has been DJ-ing since 1990. No stranger to big events, Paola has performed all over the world and is familiar with playing to large crowds.
Paola has been making music since 1990 and created the internationally famous tracks by Miss Groovy, Space Master, Bacon Popper, the Riders and House Traffic among others. She now releases music under her own name, founded and owns the digital label Intercool Edizioni Musicali.
"Discipline is the first basic rule to undertake a journey; for a goal, a dream, to be realised. Then dare ... have patience ... and above all - know how to listen to others. The passion for music and the sensitivity did the rest."
This is the answer given by Paola Peroni to those who ask “What are the tricks of the trade?".
Paola was born in Brescia and from a young age showed passion and a talent for music. At 14 she studied piano and later studied music history through a course organised by Associazione Italiana Disc Jockey.
In 1991 Claudio Tozzo and Graziano Fanelli heard and invited Paola to join the Genux staff. Paola became a resident DJ under her first pseudonym: “DJ Groovy”.
She followed her passion for music in new directions and her professional career turned to new major productions such as Dj Groovy "Shake It", "Confusione", various remixes with the same pseudonym, "Step on" by Space Master (no. 1 France); "World of Confusion" by Space Masters (no. 1 in France); "Every Day of my Life" by House Traffic; "Bang" by The Riders (no. 1 in the Netherlands), "Coming" by Scwarzkopf and many others. The results spoke for themselves with popular hits in France, Germany and Holland.
In 1995 she started producing as Miss Groovy and to play in big ID & T Events such as Thunderdome and big clubs such as Cocorico in Italy. In 1998 the huge Bacon Popper phenomenon arrived thanks to an inspired idea by Paola: the result was the unforgettable "Free", which in France alone sold 120,000 copies. Shortly thereafter she found herself opening concerts during Zucchero’s tour with her live set. Paola says: "An indescribable emotion, unique! Living in a large tribe where everyone has their own tasks and duties, all organised with professionalism."
2002 was the year of production of "Acelerando" with Ramirez, a success which made the charts in Germany and England. With the Media Records team in 2003 Paola Peroni recorded "Trip on the Moon" on the label BXR and, in the UK Nukleuz; "Harem" and Kiper "The Land of Freedom".
2004 sees Paola take on "Angel" by Cappella, which she wrote with GFB: the "Angel's Anthem Mix" is, for her, a veritable tribute to the angels.
Also in 2004 she worked on "Il Cammino" with Gigi D'Agostino and the song "The Power of Love" was released on the Noisemaker Label, then in 2005 "Everybody’s Changing".
October 2008 saw a new production "Thinking of You" and Paola played in Dortmund for the TOP DJ Meeting. Paola Peroni [as Bacon Popper] played for Datura's show "Pezzi da 90" (“pieces of 90”) and for the occasion remixed "Will Be One" (Paola Peroni New Vision Remix).
In 2009 Paola was in Miami at the Winter Music Conference as New Talent DJ and also played at Hed Kandy Club lounge, Paola also played her remixes of Funkerman – “Slide”; The Rudenko Project “Destination” and Dr. Kucho “Just Be Good to Me” and the single "Me Exita" (in the studio with DJ Molella) was released.
In March 2011 Paola Peroni worked with Alberto Remondini in his studio on a project that used the riff of a 1990s song resulting in: Remondini & Peroni “We Need Freedom".
2012 saw the birth of the Paola’s new label: Intercool Digital - melodic projects by Paola and the producer team who collaborate to create exciting and thrilling music.
