Giorgio Moroder

Moroder is frequently credited with pioneering Italo disco and electronic dance music, and is dubbed the "Father of Disco".

When in Munich in the 1970s, he started his own record label called Oasis Records, which several years later became a subdivision of Casablanca Records. Moroder composed the soundtrack for the film Midnight Express, which won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe, and contained the international hit "Chase". In 1990, he composed "Un'estate italiana", the official theme song of the 1990 FIFA World Cup. In addition to the three Academy Awards and four Golden Globes, Moroder has received four Grammy Awards, two People's Choice Awards, and more than 100 Golden and Platinum discs.
