After the talent show, we went our separate ways because I preferred to study. We were classmates in kindergarten and on stage.
The auditions were successful with three yeses out of four (from Morgan, Fedez, Simona Ventura against Mika’s no). But the duo refused to participate in the talent show.
“When I was six years old, I threw so many tantrums to have a guitar that my dad gave me one. I started learning by myself.
By eleven years old, I already knew how to play and record while singing. I was fascinated by Chab Khaled, rhythm and blues.
As I grew up, I did small concerts of cover songs. I was a kid and didn’t write songs yet,” one of them said.
“We were classmates in kindergarten even though he is a year older than me. His dad had an oven.
He grew up to become a well-known rapper, and I was more pop and starting to make myself heard. One day we met in a parking lot.
We were 16 years old. Galup (Alberto Galuppini), a reggae singer, was also there.
We spent the afternoon singing and playing. That day a sort of collective was born where everyone collaborated on each other’s productions.”
“I was one of them. To participate, I skipped school.
I made it to the quarter-finals, getting known and appreciated by the audience and critics. When I returned to Italy, I graduated from a scientific high school and took a sabbatical year to make music,” another said.
“We had our chances, but we realized that there were too many constraints. And we wanted to make our music freely, especially since we didn’t have the certainty of moving forward in the talent show.
So, we refused access to the program.” “He definitely kept them,” one of them said.
“I preferred studying, I didn’t want to sell myself to the market like a music product. Mattia continued on the hype.
And now rightly so, he is reaping what he sowed.”
