He entered the recording world in 2017 after meeting another producer, aka Keezy, with whom he founded a recording studio.Three years later, he gained increased visibility by producing six tracks on Fred De Palma's studio album Unico. He also produced the mixtape PLC Tape 1 for the same artist, which earned him his first Top Singles hits with "Mala" and "Tutto quello che ho". At the same time, he also began collaborating with Olly; in particular, among the various compositions and the EP Il mondo gira, he was credited as producer on "Polvere", a song he performed in the main competition of the Sanremo Music Festival 2023. The unreleased track is also included on their collaborative LP Gira, il mondo gira, certified platinum by FIMI for equivalent units sold.
Olly also recorded "Devastante", which earned him his first top ten entry in the national charts and triple platinum status from the Federazione Industria Musicale Italiana. That same year, a second collaborative album, Tutta vita, was released, topping the FIMI Album charts, certified seven times platinum by the same organization, and driven by the commercial successes "Quei ricordi là" and "Per due come noi"; in fact, the latter marked his first number one in Italy, where it is now double platinum. The album also features the track "Scarabocchi", his third top ten entry as a lead artist in Italy.
He also took care of the production of "Balorda nostalgia", an unreleased song proposed by Olly at the 75th Sanremo Music Festival; the song, greeted with immediate success in streaming, debuted directly at the top of the Top Singles chart and was certified triple platinum; it thus became his second number one as a composer, and on the occasion of the final of the event, it was declared the winning song.
