Italian Canadian alt-pop artist Alessandro Montelli began his career performing in his hometown, Bari in the south of Italy.
Soon after releasing his first single and promoting it all over his country, his passion for the Canadian music scene and his family’s roots made him move to Toronto in 2016 where he would experience busking and make a name for himself in both the music industry and in the Italian community.
After working with local producers Atom & Bluxz, in 2021 he dropped his singles “Life”, “Vaffanculo” and “Anything You Need” delivering a mix of pop-punk and hip-hop calling it Alternative Pop.
In 2022 Alessandro gets to perform his songs to sold out audiences, both solo and with his band, in some of the most prestigious venues that Toronto has to offer, such as the El Mocambo, Horseshoe Tavern, Lee’s Palace, and the Axis Club, as well as showcasing for Breaking Sound, Lemmon Stage, Sofar Sound etc
His latest single “You all have a bf” still hits those heavy alt pop notes, presenting a fun storytelling on what could be everyone’s dating life in the 2020s.
Currently working towards his first EP, Alessandro is relentless with his projects and he believes he can bring a whole new vibe to the world performing both in Italian and english.
