Biography

Mattei was born in Fiumicino and is the older sister of Italian singer and record producer Tha Supreme. Her music career began in 2009, when she started uploading covers of various songs to YouTube. [2] In 2013, she took part in the thirteenth season of the Italian talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi reaching the final stage of the show before being eliminated on the second Live show. [3] After the show, she released her debut EP Frammenti: Acoustic Covers N.1. [4]

After a few years of inactivity, in which she moved to London, in 2019 she resumed her musical career under the pseudonym Mara Sattei, obtained by interchanging the initials of her first and last name. [5] [6] Her first releases under the pseudonym "Nuova registrazione 326", "Nuova registrazione 402" and "Nuova registrazione 527" were produced by her brother Tha Supreme and achieved a fair amount of success in Italy. "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 released the single "Spigoli" Tha Supreme and Carl Brave. The two songs reached positions 3 and 1 on the Classifica FIMI Artisti respectively and were certified platinum, marking another success in her career.

On January 14, 2022 she released her first studio album Universo, with the extracted singles "Ciò che non dici" and "Parentesi", the latter in collaboration with Italian singer Giorgia. [7] [8] The album charted on seventh place on the Classifica FIMI Artisti, and was promoted through the Universo Tour 2022. [9] [10] In the summer of that year, Sattei also collaborated with Fedez and Tananai on the song "La dolce vita", [11] which reached position 1 on the Classifica FIMI Artisti. The song was certified gold in Switzerland and triple platinum in Italy. [12]

On 4 December 2022, Mara Sattei's participation in the Sanremo Music Festival 2023 was officially announced. [13] Her entry is titled "Duemilaminuti" and is the result of collaboration with Måneskin's frontman Damiano David and Tha Supreme. [14]

In 2024 she published a collaborative album with his brother Tha Supreme Casa Gospel, which peaked at number two on Italian Album Charts and was certified gold by FIMI. [15]
