Tancredi Cantù Rajnoldi (born 6 March 2001), known mononymously as Tancredi, is an Italian pop singer, rapper and songwriter.

Career

Tancredi is the son of Alberto Cantù Rajnoldi, the creative director for menswear at the Giorgio Armani fashion group.[1] His greatest inspiration as a young man was Italian hip-hop.[2] He participated in the 20th season of the talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi, where he was eliminated in the semifinals in 2021. His song "Las Vegas," presented on Amici, was a chart success, and his subsequently released EP "Iride" was also a success.[3]

After a brief creative break, Tancredi returned in 2022 with his debut studio album "Golden Hour."[2] He contributed the title song "Isole" to the first season of the Italian Netflix series Di4ries and also appeared in several guest appearances.[4][5]

Tancredi participated in Sanremo Giovani in 2023 with the song "Perle", which reached the final but did not get selected.[6][7] He returned there the following year with the song "Standing Ovation", which reached the semi-final.[8][9]
