Piero Esteriore (born September 23, 1977 in Laufen ) is a Swiss musician and entertainer of Sicilian descent.

Life

Piero Esteriore grew up in Aesch and learned to play drums from the age of six. After the tenth year of school he began an apprenticeship as a hairdresser . Parallel to his school and apprenticeship, he worked on a career as a musician.

Esteriore moved into the German Big Brother house near Cologne on March 16, 2009 as a candidate for the ninth season , but left it voluntarily a week later.

In 2011 Esteriore appeared as a candidate for the talent show Das Supertalent on the TV station RTL and in October of the same year the Blick reported that Esteriore had debts of almost a million Swiss francs.

In the St.Gallen Theater, the character of "Gary Coleman" in the musical Avenue Q was amusingly adapted in German with the person of Piero Esteriore.

Musical career

In 2004 Esteriore participated in the first season of the talent show Music Star of the Swiss Television in part, where he finished third. In the same year he represented - supported by his MusicStar opponents Sergio Luvualu and Tina Masafret - with the title Celebrate! Switzerland at the Eurovision Song Contest in Istanbul . He failed in the semifinals without receiving a single point. His performance was chosen as the slogan “Switzerland - zero points” as sentence of the year in Switzerland .

Esteriores debut album 1 Secondo made it to number three in the Swiss charts at the end of January 2005. The debut single Mammamia reached number ten in the Swiss single charts. The song Salta from 2005 was the last one to make it into the charts, it was ranked 38th in the highest position.

Despite Esteriore's great media presence after the Ringier incident (he rammed his car into the entrance of the unpopular Ringier publishing house), the album Io vivo , released a few days later, had only moderate success. The album entered the charts at number 34 in the first week and fell to number 95 in the second week. After three weeks, it finally disappeared from the top 100.

Esteriore toured with the singer Andreas Gabalier in Germany and Austria for almost five years . On May 8, 2016, he released the album Zwei2due . It consists of two CDs with Italian and Swiss-German songs. For the first time the Italian songs Esteriores were also published in Swiss German.
