Jovanotti (Lorenzo Cherubini), is one of Italy’s most influential and visionary artists – a songwriter, performer, and cultural icon whose career has continually redefined contemporary music.

Emerging in the late 1980s as one of Italy’s first hip hop DJs and MCs, he mixed the urban pulse of Run DMC, Public Enemy, and Beastie Boys with the warmth and rhythm of Mediterranean life.

Over decades, his sound has evolved across funk, rap, world music, and songwriting, shaping a voice that is distinctly Italian yet globally resonant. His lyrics, often infused with poetry, joy, and social consciousness, have inspired generations with messages of love, peace, ecology, and freedom.

Beyond music, he is a traveller, writer, and humanist, whose bicycle journeys across continents – from the Andes to the deserts of Africa – have become living metaphors of discovery and connection.

With 16 studio albums, 3 compilations, 4 live albums, and an extraordinary catalogue of awards including multiple Gold, Platinum, and Diamond records, he remains one of the most celebrated and influential artists in the Italian-speaking world. Constantly reinventing the live experience, his work blends music, poetry, activism, and exploration.

Always pushing the boundaries of live performance, Jovanotti has reimagined the concept of a concert.

Music as movement. Art as connection. Life as celebration.
