Jovanotti is an Italian singer-songwriter and rapper. Jovanotti, whose real name is Lorenzo Cherubini, was born in Rome on 27 September 1966.
From the mix of hip hop, rap and disco of the early successes, however, Jovanotti departs gradually approaching to funk, world music and even classical arrangements and ska influences.

His social and political commitment increased as well. Some of his earlier work is also closer to keyboard-heavy 1980s pop.
