Fred Ventura is the stage name of Italian producer and vocalist Federico Di Bonaventura.

Frederico started his career writing and recording electro pop songs on a 4 track cassette machine with a Roland Juno 60 synthesizer and an Oberheim DX drum machine. A songwriting style that soon evolved into a more dance friendly vein thanks to the explosion of the Italo Disco Sound and his love for New Order's “Blue Monday” and Bobby O “ She Has A Way”. From 1983-1989 he released eleven 12” maxi singles and one album plus many other projects under different alias’ like FLEXX and PLEASURE & PAIN.
