Daniele de Bellis

Daniele de Bellis was born in 1991 in San Severo, a city in southern Italy. As a kid, he listened to singer-songwriters like Fabrizio De André and Lucio Dalla, which shaped his approach to music. His debut single 'Ti diro' came out in 2016 and connected with listeners across Italy, giving him his first real audience.

In 2017, he released his self-titled debut album. Later records like 'Canzoni per Restare' in 2019 and 'Controtendenza' in 2022 followed. Songs like 'Ancora La Luna' and 'Cosa dire, cosa fare' show his style, which leans toward pop and folk with straightforward, personal lyrics. Some critics have called his work melancholic, but he's kept writing and recording anyway.

He's talked openly about dealing with depression and anxiety, and those themes come through in his music. He's also used his position to bring attention to mental health issues.
