Gianni Don Carlo’s decision was made; he stopped racing to spend all of his time on music. Eric van Kleef approached CEO Peter Gelderblom from the Temazo Music Group and introduced Gianni Don Carlo. Peter Gelderblom was very interested in the young man, they made a plan for the future and a management contract was signed.
