Biography

"Nuova registrazione 326" in particular has been certified gold and can thus be marked as her breakthrough release.

In 2020, she and Tha Supreme collaborated with Congolese-Belgian singer Lous and the Yakuza on a remix of the single "Dilemme". In the same year, she appeared on the single "Spigoli" by Carl Brave. The two songs reached positions 3 and 1 on the Top Singoli respectively and were certified platinum, marking another success in her career.

[14] The song was certified gold in Switzerland and sextuple platinum in Italy. [15]

On 4 December 2022, Mara Sattei's participation in the Sanremo Music Festival 2023 was officially announced. [16] Her entry was titled "Duemilaminuti" and was the result of collaboration with Måneskin's frontman Damiano David and Tha Supreme. [17]
