The Profile

Ivan Cattaneo is an Italian singer, songwriter and visual artist active since the 1970s, associated with pop, new wave and synth-pop. Known for inventive reinterpretations of 60s songs and hits like Polisex, his key albums include Superivan (1979), Ivan il terribile (1982) and the 2005 return Luna Presente.

Appeared on Italy’s TV show Mister Fantasy; early albums on Ultima Spiaggia; explored the multimedia TUVOG-ART concept; collaborated with producer/arranger Arthur Zitelli; linked to Roberto Colombo; notable for the covers project Duemila60 Italian Graffiati and the single Polisex.

Three DeBaser reviews frame Ivan Cattaneo as a witty, eclectic Italian pop/new wave figure. Ivan il terribile (1982) is praised for ideas, synth-pop sheen and courage; Duemila60 Italian Graffiati spotlights his 60s-cover persona and TV presence; Luna Presente (2005) earns kind words for light, melodic synth-pop with a lunar concept. Overall tone: affectionate, curious, and largely positive.
