Early Life and Education

Filippo Maria Fanti is now 30 years old, having been born on 20 December 1995 in Carrara, Italy.

His family moved when he was eight years old to Monza, where he lived with his parents and sister Jolanda.

His mother is named Patrizia and his father is Marco.

From a young age he began writing songs, reportedly from about age seven.

His stage name, “Irama,” comes from an anagram of his middle name Maria and also coincides with a Malay word meaning “rhythm.”

He was influenced in his youth by Italian cantautori such as Fabrizio De André and Francesco Guccini.

He spent his formative years in Monza and engaged with music while growing up in that environment.

Personal Life

Irama keeps much of his personal life private but is known to be in a committed relationship with model Victoria Stella Doritou, who has appeared in several of his music videos and accompanies him to major award events.

He previously dated influencer Giulia De Lellis between 2018–2019, though both confirmed their split amicably.

Career

Irama’s first major public exposure came in 2016 when he entered the Sanremo Music Festival in the Newcomers section with “Cosa resterà.”

That participation opened doors for him in the Italian music industry.

He continued releasing music and collaborating with artists such as Valerio Sgargi and the duo Benji & Fede, contributing to singles like Amore mio, Per te, È andata così (2014) and Fino a farmi male (2015).

The major turning point came in 2018 when he competed in and won Amici di Maria De Filippi.

That victory elevated his visibility and led to significant commercial success.

His 2018 album Giovani debuted at number one on Italy’s album charts.

His album Il giorno in cui ho smesso di pensare (2022) reached the top of the charts, and from it the single Ovunque sarai gained wide recognition.

He also released a collaborative album No Stress with Rkomi in 2023.

Irama’s discography includes studio albums, EPs, and numerous hit singles.

His style shows a blending of pop, rap, and melodic influences.

Over time he has built a repertoire of songs that have achieved platinum certifications in Italy, amassed millions of streams, and solidified his presence in Italian contemporary music.
