Måneskin, hailing from the vibrant streets of Rome, burst onto the music scene in 2016. This dynamic quartet, comprised of lead vocalist Damiano David, bassist Victoria De Angelis, guitarist Thomas Raggi, and drummer Ethan Torchio, quickly made a name for themselves.
Their early days saw them honing their craft through energetic busking performances, a testament to their raw talent and passion. A pivotal moment arrived in 2017 when they finished as runners-up on the eleventh season of the Italian "X Factor," catapulting them into the national spotlight.
However, their international breakthrough came in 2021 when they triumphed at the Eurovision Song Contest with their electrifying performance of "Zitti e buoni," a song that resonated across Europe and beyond.
Since then, Måneskin has dominated the music world, releasing three studio albums: the fiery "Il ballo della vita" (2018), the powerful "Teatro d'ira: Vol. I" (2021), and the dynamic "Rush!" (2023). Their captivating music, coupled with their compelling stage presence, has resulted in 34 platinum and seven gold certifications from FIMI, signifying their immense popularity in Italy. Before their Eurovision win, they had already sold over a million records in their home country, with their biggest hit being "Torna a casa."
Måneskin's global success continued, shattering barriers as they became the first Italian rock band to enter the UK Singles Chart Top 10 with "Zitti e buoni," "I Wanna Be Your Slave," and a captivating rendition of "Beggin'," originally by The Four Seasons. They also climbed the Billboard Global Excl. US chart, cementing their status as a force to be reckoned with in the international music landscape.
Måneskin's story is a compelling one, proving that raw talent, relentless passion, and a touch of rock 'n' roll magic can truly propel a band to the top of the world.
