JVLI

The success of "Balorda nostalgia," the winning song of the 2025 Sanremo Festival -- Italy's annual music competition -- was a victory for its singer, Olly. But it was also a coronation for its co-writer/producer JVLI, a musician whose contemporary yet timeless popcraft seems like the work of someone far older than he was at the time. He's uniquely at home in both pop and hip-hop genres, having collaborated with local acts like Fred De Palma, Shade, Cicco Sanchez, Matteo Romano, and Rocco Hunt.
