In this new entry in our ‘Diamonds In The Rough’ category, we want to introduce you to upcoming artist Alessandro Montelli and his brand new single titled “Life”.
Italian-Canadian Alt Pop artist Alessandro began his career performing at local open mics and festivals in the warm hearted Bari, in the south of Italy. While studying languages he decided to put this path on hold to pursue music full-time. Touring the italian peninsula has led his reputation to grow culminating with the release of his first official single in 2016, “Strane Parti di Me” that he showcased in local radios and tv shows. Alessandro is a multi instrumentalist and easily connects with his fans making them feel part of his world, performing with guitar and piano on stage. In recent times his main influences have been acoustic folk pop gurus John Mayer, Ed Sheeran, as well as going back to the raspy and rock vibes of Linkin Park, Sum41, My Chemical Romance, and some italian Pop-Rock bands like Le Vibrazioni, Modà, The Kolors, Subsonica.
He moved to Toronto in 2016 to pursue a bigger dream, play in a bigger city, and experience busking in the streets of “The Six”. In 2019 he started working with local producers “Atom” and “Blvxz” in order to finalize his sound and create his new trademark. He gets to bring his story to the main Canadian-Italian radio “Chin Radio” and sings for the people in Little Italy with thousands of viewers.
Thereafter Alessandro performs for Youth Day Festival on the Main stage, in the astonishing Yonge & Dundas square showcasing some of the new vibes and collecting a warm response from the audience.
In the journey of always trying to uplift people’s spirits and inspire them to believe in their dreams, during the 2020 global pandemic Alessandro meets Karizma, and together they release a new single called “1 Race”, the song that represents the change that we all want to see in the world.
2020 is also the year he will release his new project, an EP that will include the new single “LIFE”.
