Born 1959 in Rome.
Sergio Messina started working in radio as soon as the pirate radio movement bloomed in Italy (1975); in 1980 he went to work for Radio Cittˆ Futura (then Rome's #1 alternative station) where, until '93, he worked as a dj, as an engineer and as an artist. In 1985 he made his first broadcast for the national radio of Italy (Rai) and was broadcasted by Audiobox (the station's radioart program). Since 1990 he works exclusively on his projects wich involve music (making and production) and multimedia, as well as radio. Since 1993 he lives in Milano.

Also copy and diffusion where legal and encouraged. Frank Zappa's comment was "Here is an example of how music can still open people's eyes" (l'Espresso, #23 1991).

La Vendetta del Mulino Bianco (RadioGladio records/Flying 1994); concept mini cd exploring the perverted relations between consumers and products; strictly for italian audiences. Still for sale in selected shops (after 6.000 have been sold...).

Buddha Stick: Inaudito (RadioGladio Rec./99 rec. 1996) The debut album of an imaginary band, Buddha Stick (really, Sergio Messina himself). It features 62' of music plus spoken word plus outrageous samples. Available for free on the Internet (buddhastick.enemy.org) or in very (too) selected record shops.
