Giovanni Caccamo

Giovanni Caccamo (born 8 December 1990) is an Italian singer and songwriter. After being discovered by singer Franco Battiato and producer Caterina Caselli, he won the newcomers' section of the Sanremo Music Festival 2015, with the song "Ritornerò da te", and released his debut album, Qui per te.

He has also worked as a television presenter, and he dubbed the character Uku in the Italian version of Pixar's short film Lava. As a songwriter, he has penned songs for Italian recording artists Malika Ayane, Francesca Michielin and Emma Marrone.

A native of Modica, Sicily, Giovanni Caccamo started singing as a child. In 2001, during a Zecchino d'Oro TV special celebrating Mother's Day, he performed as part of the Piccolo Coro dell'Antoniano, a children's choir from Bologna.

In 2009, Caccamo began working in RAI, as part of the cast of the Rai Gulp show Music Gate, produced by Rai Ragazzi and the Institute of Antoniano.

In the summer of 2012, he met Franco Battiato and opened some of his tours, including special shows with Antony and the Johnsons.

On 15 August 2013, he released his first single, "L'indifferenza" written by himself and produced by Franco Battiato and Pino Pinaxa Pischetola.

From November 2013, he started performing in several private homes throughout Italy and Europe, singing and playing piano, as part of his Live at Home Tour. The initiative was taken in March 2015 in anticipation as part of the official tour of Qui Per Te. During that time, he was part of the radio show Edicola Fiore hosted by Rosario Fiorello.

In October 2014, he signed a recording contract with Sugar Music.
