Scialpi

Giovanni Scialpi, best known as Scialpi or Shalpy (Italian pronunciation: [ˈʃalpi]; born 14 May 1962) is an Italian pop singer, active from the early eighties of the 20th century.

Background

Born in Parma, Scialpi had an immediate success in the Summer of 1983 with the song "Rocking Rolling".[1] Considered a sex symbol, during the eighties he collected several hits, alternating romantic ballads (such as "Cigarettes and Coffee") and songs marked by futuristic lyrics (such as the cited "Rocking Rolling" and "No East No West", with whom he entered the competition at the 1986 Sanremo Music Festival).[1] In 1988 he won the Festivalbar with the song "Pregherei", then since the 1990s he gradually slowed his musical production although never abandoning the scenes.[1]

Scialpi also appeared as an actor in an episode of the TV series Derrick and starred on several stage musicals.[2] In 1990 he co-hosted the variety television Ricomincio da due together with Raffaella Carrà.

In 2012 he changed his stage name to Shalpy.[2]

In July 2015 he announced his marriage with Roberto Blasi.[3]

In September 2015 he takes part to the fourth Italian edition of Pechino Express.[4]
