Alessandro "Alex" Britti (born 23 August 1968) is an Italian singer-songwriter and guitarist.
Biography
[edit]When he was 17, he started his first band, playing blues at clubs in Rome, and eventually moved to Milan. In 1989, he established the Alex Britti Blues Band.[1] He has worked with Buddy Miles, Billy Preston, Louisiana Red and has toured Europe with Rosa King.[2][3][4]
In the mid-1990s, he toured with Francesco De Gregori.[citation needed] The experience prompted Britti to switch to a more soft rock-oriented sound. He had his first hit in 1998 when "Solo una volta (o tutta la vita)" made it to the top of the Italian charts.[3] In 1999, he won in the newcomers category at the Sanremo Festival with the song "Oggi sono io".[5]
