Niko Pandetta, born in Catania, Sicily, on March 13, 1991, is one of Italy's most famous voices. His career began in 2016 after numerous run-ins with the Italian justice system. He then put aside his problems to devote himself fully to music. This decision transformed his life. From 2016 to 2019, he sang in Neapolitan dialect, notably on the albums Si inizia da qui (2017) and #Tritolo (2018), before turning to trap and urban sounds with the following records Omnia (2017), Revenge (2020), Bella vita (2022). In 2023, he collaborated with Tempoxso and Janax on Ricorso inammissibile and Cella 5. Back in 2026 after a four-and-a-half-year prison sentence, Niko Pandetta released the album Malavita, to which he invited Artie 5ive, Kid Yugi, Massimo Pericolo, Baby Gang, Simba La Rue, Nerissima Serpe, Guè, Tony Boy, Flaco G and Papa V.
