Tonino Speciale, known as Temmpo, is an Australian producer and creator of the Temmpo musical project. The Australian seasoned writer, multi-instrumentalist, and artist who was originally from Sydney and is now in Bergen, Amsterdam, and London. He dropped a dance-pop cover of “Before You Go.” This song is originally from the hit track by Lewis Capaldi. Speciale co-wrote and sang on Afrojack’s single “Anywhere With You.” He performed with Afrojack throughout 2023 at festivals, including Tomorrowland and Ultra. “Before You Go” is his latest rework of classic songs turned into pop anthems. The original song by Lewis Capaldi is unrecognizable now with new electronic dance beats. It includes fun energy and nostalgia accompanied by dynamic beats at a fast pace. Speciale has 100+ releases and over 500+ million streams in his artistic career.
Speciale shares, “I have always loved reworking classic songs and find it both fun and challenging to reimagine classic works. These new releases were always some of my favorites so I drew inspiration from my love of the original versions to see how far I could take them into a new direction.” Furthermore, Tonino Speciale continues to explain the creation of his songs, “I produced all of the records and got my wife Frida Amundsen (aka Bad Lucy) to sing the covers at a slower, more natural tempo. We then bumped up the speed to these covers and shifted keys to make it fit a more modern, commercial dance sound.”
Other accomplishments include single releases with Telykast, global breakthrough artist of the moment Teddy Swims, and releases with Sam Feldt x Martin Jensen x Younotus, Matoma, Brennan Heart, and more. Recent collaborations with Armin Van Buuren, Sam Feldt, Purple Disco Machine, Martin Garrix, Ofenbach, Jonasu, Younotus, Martin Jensen, Poppy Baskcomb (Tiesto, Joel Corry), and Nick Furlong (Avicii, Kygo) to highlight.
In recent news, Temmpo (Tonino) has signed his own artist deal with Afrojack’s “Wall Recordings,” a JV with Universal Music. In addition, he will be working on his debut EP for later in 2024, alongside some A-list collaborations to be announced soon.
