Alessandro Britti, born 23 August 1968 in Rome, is an Italian singer‑songwriter and guitarist whose career began in his teens with blues performances in Rome before moving to Milan. At 17 he formed his first band, and in 1989 he established the Alex Britti Blues Band, collaborating with Buddy Miles, Billy Preston, Louisiana Red and touring Europe with Rosa King. The mid‑1990s tour with Francesco De Gregori prompted a shift toward a softer rock sound, leading to his breakthrough single "Solo una volta (o tutta la vita)" in 1998, which reached the top of the Italian charts. In 1999 he won the newcomers category at the Sanremo Festival with "Oggi sono io". Alessandro Britti released It.Pop in 2008 and Bene così in 2013, among other albums, while singles such as "Milano" (2008) and "Perché?" (2015) maintained his presence on the charts. He performed on the Alex Britti MTV Unplugged tour in 2008 and collaborated with artists including Bianca Atzei and Laura Pausini.
