Emanuele Picozzi, 26, was born in Naples Italy, growing up in the township of Frattamaggiore, but now resides in Milan.
At 15 years old, Emanuele gave up what would have been a promising career as a footballer, in order to pursue his true passion of singing. He released his first single at the tender age of 17, entitled, ‘Le Cose Che Non Tornano Più’, which went on to sell tens of thousands of copies, and ultimately gave Emanuele his first break into the industry.
After this first success, Emanuele went on to perform in the biggest musical competition in Italy, Sanremo, receiving critical acclaim.
Following his success from Sanremo, Emanuele took a brief hiatus to focus on the impact of social media on the music industry, being employed directly by Google.
In 2018, Emanuele was listed in Forbes magazine as one of the Top 100 most influential European’s, earning over €440,000 that year, and since then he has gone on to work with huge Italian artists and fashion brands, such as Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo.
