Tredici Pietro, the singer-songwriter born from rap. "They mostly sell fear to Gen Z"
Tredici Pietro, also known as Pietro Morandi, is an emerging singer-songwriter who will perform at the Sanremo Festival with his surprise hit 'Uomo che cade,' which challenges the norm in pop music.
Tredici Pietro, whose real name is Pietro Morandi, is breaking into the music scene with his unique sound that diverges from mainstream pop. Born in 1997, he initially shunned the lineage of his famous father, Gianni Morandi, and sought to create an independent artistic identity. His latest single, 'Uomo che cade,' is anticipated to be a standout entry in the upcoming Sanremo Festival, a prestigious event in Italy's music calendar. He candidly admits that even the chance to perform at such a significant festival seemed improbable for him, which adds to the excitement around his participation.
The artist emphasizes the importance of surprise in music, noting that few contemporary pop songs deliver that 'wow effect' anymore. With his tracks, he aims to convey authenticity rather than fitting into typical pop molds that cater to commercial interests. His early works, such as 'Pizza e fichi,' already spotlighted his rap roots, and now he is blending diverse musical influences to attract younger audiences, particularly Gen Z, for whom he feels mainstream media predominantly sells fear and anxiety.
As he prepares for his performance, Tredici Pietro also mentions a profound respect for Italian musical legends, as evidenced by his choice to cover the classic 'Vita,' originally written by Mogol and Lavezz. He is set not just to entertain but to provoke thought and a deeper emotional response from his audience, aiming to carve a niche for himself within the vibrant music landscape of Italy.
