Originally from Sicily, Monterosso worked professionally in Rome, and is currently based in Memphis, Tennessee in The United States.

[3] The resulting cabaret production, Fui e Sono Eddie Redmount, debuted in Freitas' La Conventicola Degli Ultramoderni in Rome in November 2017.

[11] Italian author and attorney Alessandra Tucci wrote the novel Le sei corde dell'anima based on Monterosso's life.

[12] In 2016, Monterosso moved to Memphis, Tennessee, and began working with local artists such as John Paul Keith, Gary Hardy, Brandon Cunning[13] and Jason D.

[22] While there, he had Rome-based engineer Matteo Spinazzè travel to Sicily to record an album on location in the 18th-century home in Trecastagni owned by his family where he was staying.

[23] The album, titled Take It Away, was initially released on digital formats only on February 14, 2022, by Org Music in Los Angeles.

"[22] Both The Sicilian Post and US magazine Exotica Moderne noted that the album expanded on the sound established by guitar duo Santo and Johnny.

[24][25] In 2014, a friend of Monterosso's informed him that veteran rock and roll performer Tav Falco was in Rome and was interested in recording there.

[33] The album was released on vinyl LP in the US by ORG Music on Record Store Day Black Friday, November 24, 2017.

[34] The Los Angeles Times called it "gloriously demented enough to act as a tonic for anyone who can't bear the thought of another dose of sugary sentimentality.

[36][37] In April 2018, Falco recorded the sessions that would become the album Cabaret of Daggers at Terminal 2 Studio in Rome, with Monterosso producing and playing guitar once again.

The project developed into a five-song EP entitled Club Car Zodiac, which featured Watt, Toby Dammit, and Argentine surf guitarist Didi Wray amongst others.

[46] Club Car Zodiac is released as a purple vinyl 12" 45 rpm EP by ORG Music on Record Store Day Black Friday, November 26, 2021.

[47] In 2022, Tav Falco's Panther Burns undertook an extensive US Tour, which began in August 25 in San Francisco and featured dates in 34 US cities.
