FILIPPO GRAZIANI

Biography

Ivan’s second son was born and raised in Rimini. He started his musical career at just 18 years old, alongside his drummer brother Tommy, touring clubs and venues across Italy until opening for well-known groups and artists such as Renato Zero, Negramaro, Morgan, Niccolò Fabi, and Gazzè. In 2008, he formed a rock band called Stoner-rock Carnera, which debuted with the EP 'First Round' and opened Zakk Wylde’s concert in Italy. He then moved to the United States, where he continued his musical pursuits.
Influenced by US folk music and electronic rock scenes, he returned to Italy to launch the project Viaggi e intemperie, paying homage to his father Ivan Graziani. Under the guidance of Pepi Morgia, he toured from November 2009, which resulted in the live album Filippo canta Ivan Graziani (Filippo Sings Ivan Graziani), dedicated solely to his father's most famous songs.
In 2011, the album was a finalist for the Targa Tenco in the "Best Interpreter" category. During this period, he also served as artistic director of the tribute album Tributo a Ivan Graziani (2012), on which he performed the song E sei così bella.
In 2014, he participated in the Sanremo Festival in the "Nuove Proposte" category with the song Le cose belle.
However, he did not reach the final in his section. His debut studio album, Le cose belle, was nonetheless successful and won the 2014 Targa Tenco award for "Migliore opera prima."
In November 2016, he returned to the scene with the single Credi in Me, whose music video was directed by Andrea Tani.
In May 2017, he released another single, Esplodere. His second studio album, Sala Giochi, was released on 16 June.
