Syria (* 26 February 1977 in Rome as Cecilia Cipressi ), also known as Airy's is a Italian pop singer .

Career

The young singer first drew attention to herself with small appearances in Roman bars, until she was discovered by Claudio Mattone in 1995, under whose guidance she was able to win the Sanremo Giovani competition with a Loredana Bertè cover . So she qualified for the newcomer category of the Sanremo Festival 1996 , where she won straight away with the song Non ci sto . Her Mattone-produced debut album was then released. At the 1997 Sanremo Festival , she entered the main category with Sei tu and came third. In the same year Syria's second album L'angelo was released , followed in 1998 by Station Wagon .

In 1999 Syria began a collaboration with Biagio Antonacci , which resulted in the album Come una goccia d'acqua in 2000 , which was released on the CGD ( Warner ) label. The song Se t'amo o no was a summer hit , and Fino al cielo was also successful. The singer returned to Sanremo in 2001 with the song Fantasticamente amore , also written by Antonacci , but without much success. For the next album Le mie favole (2002) she worked a. a. together with Max Pezzali , Jovanotti and Gianna Nannini . At the Sanremo Festival 2003 she reached fifth place with the song L'amore è written by Jovanotti . The following album Non è peccato was produced by Michele Canova Iorfida and was released in 2005; the songs on it were u. a. by Mario Venuti , Tiziano Ferro , Le Vibrazioni and Giorgia .

The singer returned in 2008 with the cover album Un'altra me , now with the Epic label ( Sony BMG ). In 2009 the EP Vivo amo esco was released under the pseudonym Airys . The single Sbalzo di colore finally ushered in 2011 Syria's new studio album Scrivere al futuro . In the same year, the singer was involved as a juror in the casting show Star Academy (Italian version of Operación Triunfo ) on Rai 2 , but it was a failure and was discontinued after a few episodes. In 2012 she published the song Come non detto , the title song of the film Was du nicht sayst, together with rapper Ghemon . Introduced by the song Odiare written by Max Pezzali, the next album Syria 10 was released in 2014 .

On the occasion of its 20-year career, Syria released the live album 10 + 10 on Universal in 2017 .
