Filippo Maria Fanti, known as Irama, (born 20 December 1995, Carrara), is an Italian singer and songwriter.
He rose to fame in 2018, following the victory of the seventeenth edition of the talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi. He participated at the Sanremo Music Festival in 2016 with the single "Cosa resterà" and in 2019, with the song "La ragazza con il cuore di latta".
Since his music debut Irama has sold over 800,000 copies in Italy, topping the Italian Albums Chart twice and realizing several media successful singles, including the multi platinum "Nera" and "Arrogante".
Growing up in Monza, he declared to have been interested in the music of Francesco Guccini and Fabrizio De André since he was a child, and then he approached hip pop. His artistic name, chosen after having anagrammed the second name, Maria, means "rhythm" in Malay.
On November 27th 2015, with the song "Cosa restaerà", written with Giulio Nenna, he was among the eight winners of the eighth edition of the Sanremo Giovani song contest, which allowed him to be admitted to the Sanremo Music Festival in the New Proposte category. The single reached the 100th position of the Italian Singles Charts and anticipated the singer's debut studio album, titled Irama, released on February 12, 2016, under the Warner Music Italy label, debuting at the 51st position of the FIMI's Chart. On May 27, 2015, the second single "Tornerai da me" was released and lately certified gold by FIMI. The commercial launch of the single "Mi drogherò" marked the end of the artistic partnership between Irama and Warner Music Italy, due to the low promotion that the label reserved to the songwriter.
