Francesco Baccini

Francesco Baccini (born 4 October 1960) is an Italian singer-songwriter. Born in Genoa, Baccini made his official debut in 1988 with the stage name Espressione Musica, with "Mamma dammi i soldi", the closing theme song of the 38th edition of the Sanremo Music Festival. Put under contract by Caterina Caselli, in 1989 he released his first album, Cartoons, which was both a critical and commercial success. In 1990 he won the Festivalbar competition and peaked the Italian hit parade with the song "Sotto questo sole", recorded together with the band Ladri di biciclette. In 1997 he entered the competition at the Sanremo Music Festival, ranking eleventh with the song "Senza tu". In 2004 he toured with "Orco Loco", subtitled as “A Clipcomedy with Songs”, a recital in which he performed both as a singer and, for the first time, as an actor.
