Life and career

Born in Vigevano and raised in Cologno Monzese, both in the region of Lombardy, he began his career in tourist villages, before landing on Radio Number One, a historic station in Northern Italy, in 2014. At the same time, he decided to focus on producing videos for YouTube. He then moved to national radio, becoming the voice of Rai Radio 2. He has several credits under his belt: The Voice (2016), Quelli che... il calcio (2017–2018), and Domenicain. In 2017, he hosted the live broadcast of the Sanremo Music Festival for Rai Radio 2 in February, alongside Andrea Delogu and Gianfranco Monti. [1]

In July 2018 he joined Ema Stokholma in commentating on Tomorrowland on Rai 4. [2] In autumn 2018 he hosted Quelli che... A Radio 2 with Tamara Donà, a radio spin-off of the historic TV programme Quelli che... il calcio .

In the 2018–19 season he was the face of the program Dalle2alle5, later Dalle2alle4, live every afternoon on DeeJay TV. [3] [4]

After his television debut, in January 2019 he left Radio Rai to move to Radio DeeJay to host the weekend night show Gente della notte, [5] moving the following year to the afternoon slot with Megajay, broadcast on Saturdays and Sundays on Radio DeeJay. [6]

In 2021, during the week of the Sanremo Music Festival, he hosted the second edition of Guess the Artist, a program during which, locked in a car, he had to guess - through clues and by asking questions - the Sanremo singer he would interview. [7] [8] [9] In the same year, he was among the voice actors of the animated film Space Jam: New Legends, [10] wrote the book Scosse. La mia vita a cuore libero, published by Mondadori, and hosted Basket Zone, an in-depth program on the Italian basketball championship broadcast on DMAX. [11]

At the end of 2021, he created Basement (BSMT) and the following year launched the podcast Passa dal BSMT, which, within a few months, became one of the most relevant formats in Italy. In 2023, he won the award for best podcast at the Best Movies Awards. In July 2024, at the Italian Podcast Awards, he won the award for best podcast in the Talk category. The following October, he received the Pegaso award from the Tuscany region. Also in 2024, at the Top Creator Awards, he received the award for best podcast from Forbes magazine.

Since 2023, after hosting GG Show for a few months, always on weekends, he joined the daily schedule of Radio DeeJay with Gazzology, on air at 8 pm from Monday to Friday. [12] In the 2023 edition he hosts the Ante Factor of X Factor , broadcast on Sky and Now. [13]

From 11 November to 14 December 2025, Gazzoli is hosting the 19th edition of the Sanremo Giovani competition (which selects emerging artists for the Sanremo Music Festival) on Rai 2, being supported by Carlo Conti during the final evening.
