Blackchild is the artist name for Italian DJ and producer Gennaro Filisdeo, hailing from a small island in the Gulf of Naples called Ischia. Throughout his life, Blackchild was heavily influenced by his father’s record collection, growing up listening to Hip-Hop, RnB, Disco, and Old School House music. At the age of 18, he started producing Tech House and immediately gained support from some of the most respected artists in the underground scene.
In 2019, Blackchild joined the Solid Grooves roster, which led him to perform at major venues and festivals such as Printworks London, Auditorium Torremolinos Malaga, and ADE Festival. The year 2020 began with chart success, as his track "Sexy Thing" reached #2 in the Beatport Top 10 Tech House Chart and #5 in the Overall Top 10 Chart. Looking ahead, Blackchild’s rise shows no signs of slowing down, with new music releases on the way and a busy festival schedule kicking off with appearances at Parklife and KappaFutur.
