Stefano Belisari (born 30 July 1961 in Milan), nicknamed Elio, is an Italian singer and musician. He is the founding members of the Italian rock band Elio e le Storie Tese.

Career

Elio founded Elio e le Storie Tese in 1980.[1] He is the lead vocalist and occasionally plays the transverse flute (in which he is a graduate at the Milan Conservatory),[2] the electric guitar and the electric bass.[3]

In 2002, Elio graduated from the Politecnico di Milano with a MSc degree in electronic engineering.[4] He had previously interrupted his studies following the success of his music career.[5]

The texts of his songs are humorous and irreverent, and he listed Frank Zappa as a primary influence.[6][7][8][9][10]

He has been a judge on the panel of the Italian version of The X Factor for five seasons, winning two of them through acts he mentored, Nathalie (season 4, 2010) and Giò Sada (season 9, 2015).[11][12]
