The song counted with the mixing of Roy Z (Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford) and mastering of Maor Appelbaum (Malmsteen). Also the special guest Mike Boals (Malmsteen, Ring of Fire).
Ricardo Bocci is also known by his work with the band Viper, in the album "All My Life" (2007), helping the band to go back to it's metal roots that made the band famous in Europe and Japan in the 90's. The album was released in Japan, by Marquee - Avalon Label, and South America, by Icarus records.
His interest in music began when he was a kid, playing some martial band instruments like brass and percussion. But he would come back to his musician activities later when he was in High School, when he joined a band called "Metal Life" as a singer. Then he began to play with bands of his neighbourhood when he heard that Andre Matos was couching singers. He attended the classes for 6 months. Then, Ricardo started to prepare himself to the tests for College of Music. 5 years later, he entered in Universidade de Campinas, studying Composition of Classical Music. In 2004, while he was still in the College, he joined a band called "Rei Lagarto", then he started to tour with the band. When he saw an internet ad saying that the band Viper (one of his favorite bands) was looking for a new singer. Immediately, Ricardo ran into studio and recorded a demo for "Prelude to Oblivion" and sent it to the band. Then, they contacted him and after a few rehearsals and a special participation in one show, Ricardo was the new vocalist of Viper.
Then the band started a tour promoting the DVD "Living for the Night - 20 years" celebrating 20 years of the band. Ricardo didn't appeared on the DVD, but he sang all the tour that included a few concerts with special participation of Andre Matos, and a concert in Paraguay.
After that, Viper decided to record a new album called "All My Life". Later, in 2008, Viper decided to take a break due Renato Graccia (drums) had a child, and Pit Passarell's solo career. Then, by suggestion of Pit himself, Ricardo decided to start a solo project.
It was months searching for the members of the band. When Ricardo found the japanese drummer Yuichi Nagoshi looking for musicians in the internet. Then he contacted the guitarrists Demian Tiguez (Symbols) and Ian Lucena (Harllequin) and also the bassist Fernando Giovannetti (Aquaria, Zyon Vega, Glory Opera).
My Way
Ricardo Bocci Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can feel the rhythm pulsing over me
And it still gets me higher
It makes me feel a desire
And I'll turn it real for everyone who wants to hear it
And I seek for emotions hidden in my heart
I'll write it down and bring it out to
Everyone who cares about it
Try to understand the past and then get over it
It will fade away with the sand and wind
Don't care for looking back
It will never return
Learn new things, look forward
There's a whole new world waiting outside
Don't wait till it goes by
It's my way and I know
I am ready to go
Say the world that I came to stay
You will hear the music that's inside of me
You will feel it like thunder rumbling over you
If the sound gets you higher
Makes you feel a desire
Take my hand, I will from now on care about you
Don't go away
Keep your ears and mind and heart focused on me
Now you can close your eyes
Learn new things, look forward
There's a whole new world waiting outside
Don't wait till it goes by
It's my way and I know
I am ready to go
Say the world that I came to stay

Eu escutei esse cara na época do lançamento do álbum All my Life do Viper...achei ele surpreendente, pensei que vingaria no Viper, o vocal dele combina de mais com o estilo que a banda estava proposta a fazer na época,esse cara merece ta entre os grandes, ainda foi aluno do André Matos. Na época, teve um pouco de rage por ele ter um timbre que lembrava do Matos, algumas pessoas ficaram perturbando por causa disso, se for nos comentários do Album All My Life do Viper, vc verá, aqui aculá , uns comentários de uns manés desses.
