Olly, real name Federico Olivieri, 23 years old, from Genoa, graduated in Economics and Management, is the son of a lawyer and a magistrate, but has a passion for music.
Since high school, he began writing and publishing texts on social networks and TikTok.
It was TikTok that brought him success in 2022: the song Un'altra volta went viral and surpassed 5 million plays on Spotify.
He was selected for Sanremo Giovani and, two years ago, with the song Polvere, he managed to participate in the main festival.
He knew he had the right song, but not the right title. He was originally going to call it Bastarda nostalgia, but then he changed it to Balorda nostalgia, "thinking about grandma."
He has a great passion for rugby, which he has played for 12 years, and his physique shows this.
He loves his city and Fabrizio De André very much: for the cover night in Sanremo, he chose the song Il pescatore and sang it in a duet with Goran Bregović.
