Alan Sorrenti (Naples, December 9, 1950) is an Italian singer-songwriter naturalized Welsh.  He has a sister, Jenny Sorrenti, herself a singer.

Born in Naples of a mother of Welsh origin and Neapolitan father, he began his career in the early seventies with the work closer to the progressive and experimental rock, where you can find the influence of Tim Buckley and Shawn Phillips, and possibly even Peter Hammill. In 1972 he released his first album Air: participating musicians exceptional project, among them Jean-Luc Ponty. Both Air (1972) that his second album, Like a censer old dawn of a deserted village (1973), have the same structure: the song that gives the title takes up an entire façade, and has a complex melodic structure and elaborate, with very dark lyrics.

The songs of the other facades have texts generally less hermetic and, from a musical point of view, they are less distant from the classic form of the melodic song. Particularly popular at the time, were I would like to meet you by Air and by Serenesse As a censer old dawn of a deserted village.

In 1975 he published a 45 success, Your roots Part I / Part II Your roots: the song, divided into two parts, remains unreleased on LP, and in 2002 Franco Battiato has recorded a cover in his Fleurs 3 albums.

Figli delle stelle -  Alan Sorrenti

Children of the stars is a pop-disco song written and performed by Alan Sorrenti, and extracted as a single from the album of the same name in 1977.

The song is one of the few examples of Italian disco music, actually sung in Italian, because so far the gender Italian groups had always sung in English.

The single was a commercial success in Italy, managing to oust from the first position of best sellers feeling that little Anna Oxa and staying at the top for a week, before leaving the place to Stayin 'Alive by the Bee Gees. In total the disc remained in the top ten for sixteen consecutive weeks, and turned out to be the eighth best-selling single of the year
