Alfa

Alfa, the stage name of Andrea De Filippi, is an Italian singer-songwriter and rapper from Genoa. He emerged as part of Italy's new generation of pop-rap artists who blend melodic hooks with rap cadences, building a young, streaming-driven audience through catchy, hyper-modern production.

His songs, including «Sogna, ragazzo, sogna», «Cin Cin» and «a me mi piace», reflect the blend of Italian pop sensibility and contemporary trap-influenced rap that has come to define much of the country's mainstream urban scene in recent years. His two-part track «Testa tra le nuvole» further illustrates his approach of pairing anthemic, singable choruses with rap verses.

Alfa represents a wave of Italian artists who came up through social media visibility and streaming platforms rather than traditional label-driven promotion, and his music is characterized by an upbeat, radio-friendly sound aimed at a broad young audience. He has become one of the recognizable names in Italy's current pop-rap landscape.
