Annalisa Scarrone (born 5 August 1985),[2] better known as simply Annalisa or Nali, is an Italian singer-songwriter and record producer. After being part of two bands, Elaphe Guttata and leNoire (formerly Malvasia), she rose to the fame after coming in second in the tenth season of the Italian talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi (2010–2011).[3] Subsequently, Annalisa participated for the first time at the Sanremo Music Festival 2013 with the song "Scintille".[4]

After her first participation, Annalisa took part in the Sanremo Music Festival 5 more times, reaching the podium twice, in 2018 with "Il mondo prima di te" and in 2024 with "Sinceramente".[5] In 2023, she topped the Italian singles chart for the first time with the song "Mon amour", becoming the first female soloist to do so in over three years.[6] Throughout her career she has received several awards including a Global Force Award at the Billboard Women in Music 2024 becoming the first Italian artist to receive this recognition.[7] She also received two MTV Europe Music Awards (2018 and 2024), a Wind Music Award and a Lutezia Award for her songwriting, as well as nominations at the Kid's Choice Award and World Music Awards. In 2023 Forbes Italia listed Annalisa among "the 100 successful women in Italy" of the year.[8]

Annalisa has released 8 albums and 45 singles as a solo artist, receiving 48 platinum and 13 gold certifications and selling over 4,3 million copies in Italy, becoming the Italian female artist with most copies sold.[9] She has also written songs for other artists including Gianna Nannini, Fedez, Benji & Fede and collaborated with David Guetta, Boomdabash, Tedua, J-Ax, Antonello Venditti, Gianluca Grignani, Achille Lauro, Vanesa Martín, and Nomadi. From 2015 to 2019, she presented the documentary series Tutta colpa di ... on Italia 1, focusing on the scientists Albert Einstein, Galileo Galilei, Charles Darwin, and Leonardo da Vinci.[10][11] In 2024, the main-belt asteroid (20014) 1991 RM29 was named Annalisa in her honour.[12][13]
