Servidei was born in Brescia on 27 December 1989. He grew up in the Urago Mella district, in the northwest suburbs of Brescia. Despite the group name, literally meaning 'Quintal Brothers', Frah and Merio are not brothers in real life. The term 'Quintale' refers to his components weight when they formed the band. After the duo split, Frah decided to keep 'Quintale' as part of his stage name, although he had already lost weight at the time. They later signed a deal with
Carosello and released the studio album
Tra il bar e la favola, which peaked at number 69 on the
FIMI Italian Albums Chart and spawned the singles "Semplice" and "Avrei fermato il tempo". Frah Quintale's first solo project was the
extended play Idiot savant, released as a free download in 2012 and conceived as a side project during his work as part of Fratelli Quintale. His second extended play, titled
2004, was released in 2016 by Undamento. It was followed by the album
Regardez mois (2017), later certified platinum by the
Federation of the Italian Music Industry. Between 2017 and 2018, he promoted the album touring across Italy, with more than 70 shows. In 2018 he also performed at the
International Workers' Day Concert in Rome, and he released the single "Missili", recorded with singer Giorgio Poi and produced by Takagi & Ketra. On 29 June 2018, the project
Lungolinea was released. Initially created as a playlist preceding the release of his debut album,
Lungolinea evolved to a compilation album featuring previous singles, new songs, and vocal messages originally sent to producers while working on
Regardez mois. Between 2020 and 2021, Frah Quintale released a two-albums project titled
Banzai and composed of the records subtitled
Lato blu (2020) and
Lato arancio (2021).
Banzai (Lato blu) was certified Gold by
FIMI in 2021. Frah Quintale also appeared in the single "
Venere e Marte" by producers
Takagi & Ketra and also featuring vocals by
Marco Mengoni. ==Notes==
