After the release of a few singles with Ultrasuoni between 2012 and 2014, she rose to prominence in February 2015 with her participation in the Sanremo Music Festival 2015, performing the song "Il solo al mondo". The single came before her first album, Bianco e nero, released in the same year by Baraonda Edizioni Musicali.
Atzei was born in Milan by Sardinian parents. She has studied singing since she was 8 years old, listening to Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, but she was also influenced by Italian singers from the 60s such as Luigi Tenco, Patty Pravo and Sergio Endrigo. At the age of 17 she attended for two years the MAS, a music academy in Milan, during which she had her first experiences as a singer: she contributed to the making of theme songs and jingles, also working for a period as chorister in the talent show CD Live broadcast by the national television channel Rai Due and in the TV program Domenica Cinque directed by Barbara D'Urso.
