It all started with the video of Strongerthe famous song by Kanye West published in 2007. At the time Cape Plazaborn Luca D’Orso, was a nine-year-old boy who lived in the suburbs of Salerno. «I remember I was at my grandmother’s house: show that clip on television and I freeze in my chair» smiles Capo Plaza, guest of the podcast One More Time by Luca Casadei. «I feel immediately close to that music, to that imagination. So I start searching on the internet and in 24 hours I listen to so many things.”
From there, the turning point: «GAt the age of 13 my project was music and tell those situations that I saw every day: fights, beatings, four people against 35 hitting us with helmets. Stories that fascinated me, even though they didn’t represent the path I wanted to pursue“, underlines the rapper from Campania, born in 1998. “I have always told them without saying “I did this”. My message was: “you see this stuff exists. Just as there is good in the neighborhood, there is also bad. It’s up to you to decide.”

Capo Plaza then touches on a particularly painful point in his life, loneliness: «My phone rings very little, I am a very lonely person and this makes me suffer. Of course, I have my friends, but we don’t live there every day: with them it has become more a working relationship because they collaborate with me. The bonds, living in another city, they have cooled and I miss it constant friendship, how I felt before. Maybe my family now they are my friends, my girlfriend is my best friend.”
Precisely to his life partner, the creator Gaia Clerici, dedicate another passage of the conversation. «We hung out in the same ones Warner studios: we met, we liked each other, but I was engaged at the time. Then, when I broke up, I asked her out: I love her madly, thanks to her I definitely became another type of person and it was all natural”, underlines the artist. «He was able to understand me, he was able to understand my position. She knows what it is my weakness and it helps me.”
An understanding that, according to his story, not found in psychologists who he met: «I tried to go in analysis but at the first meeting every time they told me that my problem was the rods. I would like to be truly understood by a person: the problem is that at 18 years old I was tossed around in the great world of music, with very high numbers. AND no one taught me how to handle successI had to do it alone”, concludes Capo Plaza, first Italian artist to debut on Fortnite.
«From the age of 19 to 25 I didn’t have any the life of a normal boy of my age. I am still grateful for what I have achieved, yesI’m proud of myself. My victory is making the people around me happy. Today again I’m very insecure, but this makes me who I am. In the end they are a human being».
