One of the most widely read music critics, Drago Bonacich was born in the bosom of an European family settled in Chile. Current member of the U.S. National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, Drago started hosting radio shows at a young age mostly influenced by American hard/rock, British punk and post-disco music, making himself a music addict before becoming a top-rated entertainment enthusiast and one of the most reliable critics. This real music lover has produced several successful radio shows. Profiles and reviews holding his signature can be found in music magazines, web sites such as Real Networks, Windows Media, Rolling Stone, Artist Direct (UBL), All Music Guide, AOL Music, BMG Music Service and worldwide tv networks MTV and VH1. Drago Bonacich became the first one supporting Shakira's crossover in the U.S., introducing t.A.T.u. and Tokio Hotel to America and later Katy Perry and Lady GaGa to Latin America, anticipating Juanes and Julieta Venegas success, the first one writing about Joss Stone, the RBD phenomena, the 2006 Latin American punk-pop revival and the Soda Stereo reunion tour. In addition, supporting now well-known urban artists, among many other achievements, turning into one of the most devoted promoters of alternative music. He is also the leading force behind the award-winning Satélite Musical, formally a digital music magazine since 2000 and one of the most popular music web sites in Spanish. An enriching experience which is far from over.
