Michele Bravi (born December 19, 1994 in Città di Castello ) is an Italian pop singer and web video producer .
Career
Bravi gained his first musical experience in the children's choir in his hometown. During his visit to the humanistic grammar school , music remained a mere hobby. He later took singing and piano courses.
In 2013, after passing the state exam , he took part in the casting show X Factor . He made it to the final and finally on December 13th the victory with the song La vita e la felicità , which was written by Tiziano Ferro and Zibba and then immediately topped the Italian charts . In 2014 the single was awarded a gold record . After the X-Factor victory, Bravi released an EP and in June 2014 the first album A passi piccoli , produced by Michele Canova Iorfida . The album also contained the song Sotto una buona stella , which Bravi had recorded for the soundtrack of the Carlo Verdone film of the same name .
In 2015 Bravi opened a YouTube channel and got in closer contact with his fans through regular videos. After moving from Sony Music to Universal Music , he announced his second album, I Hate Music, for the beginning of October that year . In contrast to the previous album, with one exception (the Troye-Sivan cover The Fault in Our Stars ), all of the songs included are by Bravi himself and are in English. A music video was released in advance of the song The Days . After its release, the album immediately reached the top three of the Italian charts. The associated tour started at the end of February 2016.
At the Sanremo Music Festival in 2017 Bravi took part for the first time; with the song Il diario degli errori , he took fourth place in the final.
