Andrea Settembre (born 9 October 2001),[1] known mononymously as Settembre, is an Italian singer and songwriter.

## Early life

[edit]

Andrea Settembre was born in Naples to Paola Moriello and Enzo Settembre. He has an older brother, Ciro, and he grew up in the Colli Aminei borough of Naples.[2][3][4] Settembre started to take dance classes at the age of 6. At the age of 12, he enrolled in a musical academy and started composing songs.[1][5] He attended the liceo linguistico Comenio in Naples,[6][7] and he later started studying speech therapy.[8]

## Career

[edit]

Settembre started his career as a radio speaker for Radio Immaginaria, a broadcaster entirely managed and hosted by teenagers.[9] He debuted on stage at the Teatro Politeama in Naples, performing as part of the cast of a production of the musical Grease.[10] In 2012, he appeared on the TV show Se stasera sono qui [it],[9] and he performed at the 20th RAI Christmas Concert [it], broadcast on Rai 2.[11] After launching his own YouTube channel, he released videos of his performances, singing covers as well as original songs. In 2013, he competed in the fourth season of Italian junior singing talent show Io canto [it], as a member of Claudio Cecchetto's team.[9][11] He later appeared on the Italia 1 infotainment TV programme Fattore umano [it] (2015).[9]

In 2019, Settembre competed in the sixth series of The Voice of Italy. He auditioned with Khalid's "Location" and became a member of Gigi D'Alessio's team, but was eliminated during the battles.[12][13] He also took part in contest events organized by radio broadcasters, such as Festival Show [it] in 2018, which he won, and Deejay On Stage in 2022, reaching the final.[5][9]

In 2023, he successfully auditioned for the seventeenth series of X Factor Italia, placing fifth overall and releasing the single "Lacrime". During the show, he was noted for his performance of "Amandoti [it]" by CCCP, later recorded and released as a single.[1][3] One year later, he competed in Sanremo Giovani with the song "Vertebre [it]", being among the top four acts selected to take part in the Newcomers' section of the Sanremo Music Festival 2025. He won the competition, additionally receiving the Critics Award, the Press Room Award and the Nuovo IMAIE Award.[1][14][15][16] Upon his Sanremo victory, Settembre was also awarded a plaque by the mayor of Naples, Gaetano Manfredi. "Vertebre" reached 9 million streams in Italy.[4] He was then selected by RAI to form part of the Italian jury for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025.[17]
