Experimental one-man-project launched in 2003, PROFILƎ took inspiration from a multitude of sources: retrogaming, true crime, nightclubbing, sci-fi, architecture, Italian B-movies from the '60s and '70s, transhumanism, Hentai culture, James Ellroy's novels, mathematics, '80s toys, postmodernism, punk hardcore, DIY, and so on. Musically, PROFILƎ is a mash-up of early Warp's catalog, Philip Glass' minimalism, Riz Ortolani, EBM, no-wave, power electronics, free jazz, Naked City, harsh and white noise. 

During its career, PROFILƎ published a mini-album (The Overkilling E.P., 2003), a full-length (Pinku Eiga, 2004), two split albums with Macelleria Mobile di Mezzanotte (La Dalia Nera, 2003 and L'Ultimo Vero Bacio, 2007), together with countless self-produced, now impossible-to-find, material: Overkilling E.P. Revisited and Hand Colored, Death By Banana Sandwich, HomeDemos, Piano Works, and the mysterious Alice in Marcinelle. 

Over the years, PROFILƎ wrote several songs and remixes for projects such as Macelleria Mobile di Mezzanotte, Marat/Sade, and Maledaurora, 

The real identity behind the project is unknown, and PROFILƎ often signed the paternity of its music by using pseudonyms, fake names, or anagrams. Moreover, PROFILƎ played scarcely live and, when it did, it used to hide his/her face behind oxygen masks, remaining an eternal enigma to him/herself and to others.
