Riccardo Marcuzzo (born 4 February 1992), better known as Riki, is an Italian singer and songwriter who rose to fame after finishing as runner-up on the sixteenth season of the Italian talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi.

Early life and career

[edit]

Marcuzzo was born in Segrate, but since childhood he lives in Pessano con Bornago, in the province of Milan.[1] From a young age he took up an interest in acting, taking part in several courses, but later he realised that it was not the right path for him; For this reason he decided to approach music and at seventeen he started taking singing lessons.[1] In 2016, he took part in the sixteenth season of the Italian talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi. He finished as runner-up behind dancer Andreas Muller.[2] While participating on Amici di Maria De Filippi, he signed with the record label Sony Music Italy.

On 5 May 2017 he released the lead single from his debut EP of the same name, Perdo le parole. It peaked at no. 11 on the Italian FIMI Singles Chart.[3] The EP was later released on 19 May 2017 and debuted atop the Italian Albums Chart.[4] After two weeks on the chart it was certified Gold.[5][6]

In September 2017 he released an interview in an Italian Magazine, TV Sorrisi e Canzoni, about his new album and his first tour.[7] On 29 September 2017 he released "Se parlassero di noi", the lead single from his upcoming album "Mania", which was released on 20 October 2017.[8]

He participated at the Sanremo Music Festival 2020 with the song "Lo sappiamo entrambi" ("We both know"), finishing last.[9]
