Early Life and Education

Gionata Boschetti (33 years old) was born on December 7, 1992 in Sesto San Giovanni, Lombardy, and raised in the working-class suburb of Cinisello Balsamo.

Sfera grew up amidst personal and financial hardship.

His parents separated during his childhood, and his father passed away when he was 13.

His mother Valentina worked multiple jobs to support him and his sister Andrea.

Sfera attended local public schools but was known for being rebellious and uninterested in academics.

After repeating a grade in middle school, he dropped out during his first year of high school.

He worked various small jobs, such as delivering pizzas and assisting electricians, before dedicating himself entirely to music.

During his teenage years, he was inspired by American rappers Eminem, 50 Cent, and Gucci Mane, as well as Italian rap groups Club Dogo and Gemelli DiVersi.

These influences shaped his lyrical realism and trap aesthetic.

He never attended university, instead focusing on building his career through self-promotion and digital releases.

The couple welcomed their first child, Gabriel, on June 22, 2022, and occasionally share family moments on social media while maintaining overall privacy.

Sfera avoids political statements and religious controversies, describing himself as spiritual but not observant.

His family remains central to his identity, and he often references his mother’s sacrifices in his lyrics.

Career

Sfera Ebbasta began uploading early freestyles and songs to YouTube between 2011 and 2012 under his own name.

His 2016 self-titled album Sfera Ebbasta (Universal/Def Jam) debuted at #1 in Italy and went multi-platinum, producing hits like Figli di papà and BRNBQ.

In 2018, he released Rockstar, which became one of the most streamed albums in Italian history.

The Rockstar International Edition included collaborations with Quavo, Rich the Kid, Tinie Tempah, and Lary Over, solidifying Sfera’s international reach.

In 2020, he dropped Famoso, featuring Future, Offset, Steve Aoki, Diplo, and J Balvin.

The album was accompanied by an Amazon Prime Video documentary, Famoso – The Movie, highlighting his rise from Cinisello Balsamo to global recognition.

He returned in 2023 with X2VR, the sequel to his debut, blending nostalgia with maturity and featuring collaborations with Marracash, Elodie, and Geolier.
