The group began performing covers and originals in Rome’s streets, gaining local attention. In 2017, they competed on X Factor Italy (Season 11), finishing second under mentor Manuel Agnelli. Their exposure led to a deal with Sony Music Italy, and they released their debut EP Chosen in 2017, featuring the single of the same name.

Their diverse influences—rock, punk, glam, and pop—shaped their unique sound, blending retro vibes with modern production.

Career

Måneskin’s career took off after X Factor Italy in 2017, where their high-energy performances caught attention. Their debut album, Il ballo della vita (2018), went triple platinum in Italy, driven by hits like “Morirò da re” and “Torna a casa.” The album’s success led to a European tour and growing international buzz.

In 2021, they won the Sanremo Music Festival with “Zitti e buoni,” earning the right to represent Italy at Eurovision. Their victory at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 catapulted them to global fame, with “Zitti e buoni” charting worldwide.

Their second album, Teatro d’ira: Vol. I (2021), embraced a raw rock sound and included covers like “I Wanna Be Your Slave,” which went viral on TikTok.

Their third album, Rush! (2023), marked their shift to English-language songs, aiming for a broader audience. It featured collaborations with Tom Morello and debuted at number one in several countries. Måneskin toured extensively, selling out arenas like Madison Square Garden and headlining festivals like Coachella. As of May 2025, they’ve sold over 10 million records worldwide and won awards like the MTV Europe Music Award and American Music Award.
