Rosa Chemical, born Davide Petrella, is an Italian singer-songwriter and producer who exploded onto Italy’s music scene with his bold, genre-blending style. Known for mixing trap, pop, and hyperpop with cheeky, boundary-pushing lyrics, he gained mainstream attention in 2019 with the viral hit “Made in Italy” – a satirical anthem that critiques stereotypes while flaunting his unapologetic flair. His music often tackles themes like sexuality, identity, and societal norms, wrapped in neon-bright production and a theatrical persona that’s equal parts provocative and playful.
With collaborations spanning icons like Gianna Nannini and contemporaries like VillaBanks, Rosa Chemical has become a lightning rod in Italy’s modern music landscape. Tracks like “BLACKOUT” and “non è normale” showcase his knack for sticky hooks and irreverent storytelling, while live performances lean into campy, high-energy spectacle. Love him or side-eye him, he’s carved a niche as Italy’s rebellious pop alchemist, turning taboos into TikTok-ready bops.
