Life and career

Cremonini was born in Bologna, Italy, on 27 March 1980, second son of Carla, a professor of literature, and Giovanni Cremonini, a medical nutritionist (1924-2019). From an early age, he began studying piano. After listening to British rock band Queen, he started listening to pop rock music and writing his first songs at the age of 14. In 1996, along with some friends and classmates at the liceo scientifico Sabin, he formed a group called Senza filtro, with whom he performed at parties and clubs in Bologna, singing covers of The Beatles, Oasis, Radiohead and Queen. In late 1996, he met Walter Mameli, who has since become his music producer and manager.
