Background

Born in Genoa, Baccini made his official debut in 1988 with the stage name Espressione Musica, with "Mamma dammi i soldi", the closing theme song of the 38th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival.[1] Put under contract by Caterina Caselli, in 1989 he released his first album, Cartoons, which was both a critical and commercial success.[1][2] In 1990 he won the Festivalbar competition and peaked the Italian hit parade with the song "Sotto questo sole", recorded together with the band Ladri di biciclette.[2] In 1997 he entered the competition at the Sanremo Music Festival, ranking eleventh with the song "Senza tu".[1] In 2004 he toured with "Orco Loco", subtitled as “A Clipcomedy with Songs”, a recital in which he performed both as a singer and, for the first time, as an actor.[2]
