His debut single, "Quella te", was released by Maciste Dischi in late 2016. At the time, he refused to appear or reveal any details about himself.

His second studio album, Punk (2018), was preceded by the singles "Tutta la vita", "Sopra" and "Scintille".

[7] He also took part in the 2019 International Workers' Day concert in Piazza San Giovanni Laterano, Rome, annually supported by Italian trade unions CGIL, CISL and UIL. [8] A new edition of the album, Post Punk, was released in late 2019. It also included the singles "Polynesia", "Settembre" and "Una canzone che non so".
