Michele Bravi is an Italian singer-songwriter born on December 19, 1994, in Città di Castello, a small town in Italy's Umbria region.
He first became known in 2013, when he won the seventh season of the Italian version of X Factor at just 18 years old, standing out for his delicate, emotionally raw voice. His coronation single, "La vita e la felicità," written by Tiziano Ferro, went straight to number one in Italy, and his debut album followed in 2014.
Since then Bravi has built a career on intimate, introspective pop, returning several times to the Sanremo Music Festival and writing openly about identity, vulnerability, and mental health. His songs often explore the uneasy relationship between the self and the body it lives in.
