Colapesce is the stage name of Italian singer-songwriter and musician Lorenzo Urciullo. Born in Catania, Sicily, Colapesce is deeply influenced by the folklore and storytelling traditions of his homeland — his stage name itself is inspired by the legendary figure of Colapesce from Sicilian mythology. Known for his distinct blend of indie-pop with eclectic influences ranging from folk to electronic music, Colapesce has carved out a notable space for himself in the Italian music scene.

Starting his career as a solo artist in the late 2000s, Colapesce has since released multiple albums that showcase his talent for evocative storytelling paired with melodic soundscapes. Over the years, he has gained recognition for his reflective and often poetic lyrics, as well as his ability to deliver them with a charismatic presence. Notable among his recent works is the collaboration with fellow Italian artist Dimartino, resulting in the critically acclaimed single "Musica leggerissima," which was a hit in Italy and spawned several remixes, including one by the legendary French producer Cerrone. His other works like "Lux Eterna Beach" and "Considera" continue to affirm his role as an innovative force within the Italian music industry, appreciated for his ability to craft songs that resonate with both introspection and a sense of shared cultural identity.
