Born 5 August 1985 in Savona, Italy. Annalisa Scarrone better known as simply Annalisa or Nali, is an Italian singer-songwriter, record producer and TV personality who  graduated from the University of Turin in Physics in 2009. After being part of two bands, Elaphe Guttata and leNoire (formerly Malvasia), she became famous after participating in the tenth edition of the talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi in 2010–2011, where she finished in second place.
Her 2011 solo debut, Nali, was a huge success, spawning several singles, platinum sales, and reaching the number two position on the Italian charts. She followed it in 2012 with Mentre Tutto Cambia, which featured the hit single "Senza Riserva." In January of the following year, her song "Pirati" was included in the bonus features of the animated film Ice Age 4: Continental Drift. Her third album, Non So Ballare, was released shortly afterward, peaking at number six on the Italian charts and adding jazz elements into Annalisa's pop sound. Her song "Tutto Sommato" appeared on the soundtrack of the hit Dutch film Tuscan Wedding and she was the featured singer on the film's song "Capirai." Splende, her fourth release, arrived in early 2015 followed a year later by the electro-pop-oriented Se Avessi un Cuore. Both albums continued Annalisa's successful streak on the Italian charts, reaching number seven and number four, respectively. In 2023, she topped the Italian singles chart for the first time with the song "Mon amour", becoming the first female soloist to do so in over three years.
