Simon Dredo's passion for rock bass guitar started after two years of classical guitar studies.
In 1988, he joined Laroxx, a new Hard Rock band with a great following in the North of the country.

In summer of 1991 after many live experiences across Italy the band started recording their first eponymous album: 12 tracks of pure Street Metal.

Meanwhile Simone began to work with the singer Francesca Chiara on the recordings of the Misstery demo.

In 1992, after some live shows in Italy, Laroxx played a promotional tour in California getting involved in live events at the famous Troubadour and the F.M. Station in Los Angeles.

Soon after the band changed its name into "La Rox".

In 1996, La Rox released their second album "Help Me Out!" produced by Pick-Up Records and distributed in Italy by Dig-it, Europe by KDC/Point and Japan by King/Nexus.

A new tour in Eastern Europe soon followed along with many Radio and TV appearances.

In 1996 Simon started collaborating with other bands both for studio and live works performing different musical genres with great ability for underground bands or famous acts such as one of the best known Italian bands of the 60's, "I Delfini".

In 1998, Simon teamed up with the great Italian guitarist Alex De Rosso (Solo, Dokken) and six months later became the official bass player for all his projects.

In December 2000, Dredo recorded the third Alex De Rosso solo album.

"The Thin Line Between Black And White" was released in January 2003 (Atrheia records/Edel)

At the beginning of 2005 he got asked to tour England with Adam Bomb’s band in his "Welcome To My Disaster Tour" which made him play in the best English rock clubs as headliner for 37 shows.

After getting back home Simon was asked to become the official bass player for a new big project based in Milan, The LoveCrave. In March 2006, after several months of hard work, the band signed to German label Repo Records and the highly acclaimed debut album "The Angel And The Rain" was finally released in Europe in October 2006.

In 2007 The LoveCrave won an award at the M.E.I. (Indipendent Labels Meeting) as "Best Italian Band On International Ground" presented by ROCK SOUND Magazine.

The band was invited to perform live at some renowned Italian/German venues and summer festivals in 2008 as well, before starting intensive writing sessions for a second studio album expected in early 2010.

In the same year Simon was also asked to play bass in a new project fronted by guitarist/producer Nick Savio, named CyberCross.

A debut studio album called "IRA" was released in 2008. A strong, aggressive set of ten Dark/Goth/Metal tracks (Crush & Burn Records/Gatti Promotions).

In 2009 their second CD “Mega Trip” was published by Crush & Burn Records and distributed by Masterpiece Distribution.

The new The LoveCrave album "Soul Saliva" was released in May 2010, followed by a new promotional tour in Germany and UK.

Repo records signed with a new promotion company, the CMM, who promote the new album Soul Saliva.

The LoveCrave entered the roster of Metropolis Records that will produced and distributed the new album Soul Saliva in The United States and in Canada!

On July 2010, The LoveCrave finished the filming for the new video Thriller (M.Jackson cover)!

The video come out at the end of August when "Soul Saliva" have been released in the States.

The LoveCrave new EP Crisalide was released in October 2010. A lot of special contents, unplugged songs and the video of Thriller as well.
