In 2021 they obtained a recording contract with the label Woodworm, with whom they released their debut EP Zafferano, from which the single "Gremolada" was extracted. [4] In the summer of the same year they performed at Mi Manchi, a substitute festival for the annual MI AMI Festival. [5]

In April 2022, they released the single "Chiara", in collaboration with the Brazilian music group Selton, which brought the group national fame. [6] In the summer of 2022, the group performed as the opening band for concerts of various artists including Blanco, Dutch Nazari and the Psicologi. At the same time, they continued to perform at major Italian music festivals such as Goa-Boa in Genoa and the Mengo Music Fest in Arezzo.

In September 2022, they participated in the Area Sanremo contest, winning one of the four spots available for Sanremo Giovani, a televised competition aimed at selecting six newcomers as contestants of the 73rd Sanremo Music Festival. [7] Colla Zio manage to qualify in the top six, with their entry "Asfalto", [8] by rightfully accessing the festival in the Campioni category.
