When Marco Carta unchains his big, slightly gruff tenor, listeners might consider lashing themselves to a mast to prevent being swept away in a sea of emotion. One of the most famous male voices of Italian music, Carta kicked off his career by winning the popular Amici di Maria de Filippi TV talent show in 2008, and he released his debut album, Ti Rincontrerò, the same year. His signature style blends big acoustic and electric guitars with piano, strings and a crescendoing voice guaranteed to hit passionate peaks.
