Gianmaria Volpato (born 25 August 2002) known professionally as Gianmaria (stylized as gIANMARIA) is an Italian singer-songwriter and rapper.

Biography

Volpato was born in Vicenza. He showed an immediate interest in music at the age of 13.[1] During his early musical studies, he alternated his studies by working at a local pizzeria.[2]

In 2021, he took part in the fifteenth edition of the Italian talent show X Factor, under the guidance of mentor Emma Marrone, finishing in second place behind Baltimora.[3][4] In conjunction with the talent show, he presented his debut single "I suicidi", previously performed during the auditions, written by himself in collaboration with Nicolas "Bais" Biasin.[3]

After the talent show, Gianmaria obtained a recording contract with the label Epic Records, with whom released the singles "Tutto o niente 2" and "Mamma scusa".[5] These tracks anticipated the release of the debut EP entitled "Fallirò", which was released on 14 January 2022.[6][7] The EP debuts at position 25 on the Classifica FIMI Artisti, and is being promoted through the Fallirò Tour 2022.[8]

In November 2022, Gianmaria was one of 12 acts selected to compete in Sanremo Giovani, a televised competition aimed at selecting six newcomers as contestants of the 73rd Sanremo Music Festival.[9] Gianmaria placed first during the show, with his entry "La città che odi", by rightfully accessing the festival in the Campioni category.[10] "Mostro" was later announced as his entry for the Sanremo Music Festival 2023.
