Francesco Gabbani

Francesco Gabbani is an Italian singer-songwriter who's become one of Italy's most vibrant contemporary pop voices since bursting onto the scene in the late 2010s. Known for blending catchy melodies with smart, philosophical lyrics, Gabbani first captured international attention with his 2017 Eurovision entry "Occidentali's Karma" - a satirical bop featuring a viral gorilla dance that became a cultural phenomenon. His music often mixes playful pop-rock with thoughtful social commentary, as heard in tracks like "Volevamo solo essere felici" and "L’abitudine" from his recent work. Since winning Sanremo Music Festival (Italy's premier song competition) in 2017, he's continued evolving his sound while maintaining his signature combination of danceable rhythms and lyrical depth, evident in newer releases like "Viva la vita" and "Spazio tempo". Gabbani's style remains distinctly Italian yet universally relatable, making him a standout artist in modern European pop.
