After long insisting he got his first drum set at the age of 12. Later, he played in local rock bands with as great examples Santana, Chicago, Cream, Jimi Hendrix and Otis Redding. He studied in 1970 as hair, yet he wanted to make it true in the music world. ==The early years[ Edit] == With his band in the early 1970s Kongas Cerrone came for the first time really in the attention. The band played often in the Papagayo Club in Saint Tropez, where he encountered the French producer Eddie Barclay . This Kongas offered a record deal and that was the beginning of a long association with Barclay. Their first single was a hit Tree, which led to some tours in Europe, Africa and Japan. Individual ailments led to Cerrone in 1975 left the band. He went as a studio musician on through life and opened two record stores that, ' Import Records "were baptized. ==First success[ Edit] == In 1975 he began to compose songs for his first album, the successful Love In C Minor. For the title track did he appeal to Alex r. Costandinos. He produced and recorded the album all by themselves and 8 months later, he released his disco debut on its own account. Since the French record companies were not ready to Cerrones music, he let 20,000 copies printed and sold them himself in his own record stores. Love In C Minor was officially only released in February 1977, a year later, at Atlantic Records and earned him a Grammy Award on first.

However the single Call Me Tonight with singer Michelle Aller Eurodiscoklassieker a large, especially in gay clubs. He gets a Golden Globe for the song. But songs such as "Living On Love and Rock Me encountered criticism by the rather mechanical and forced sound. All kinds of disco and rock elements were combined making it album often quite catchy and little innovative about came. ==The 80 's<span class="mw-editsection" len="325" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">From 1980 disco hit in a low point and were the people of the genre no longer really impressed.
