MANESKIN

Not ones to play by the rules, Måneskin’s sound is marked by a plethora of genres: a mix of rock, rap/hip hop, reggae, funky and pop, spearheaded by the charisma and soulful voice of frontman Damiano (vocals), Victoria (bass), Thomas (guitar) and Ethan (drums). Måneskin means “moonlight” in Danish and the name is a tribute to the bassist’s origin. Some of the members have known each other since middle school, but they only started playing together in November 2015.

Måneskin are one of the biggest acts ever discovered by The X Factor Italy, but when they won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2021, they truly broke through into the global stage and in just the six months post-Eurovision, they won Best Rock Act at both the MTV EMAs and the American Music Awards as well as opening for the Rolling Stones in Las Vegas.
