One of the most acclaimed voices in contemporary Italian music, Arisa made her breakthrough in 2009 by winning the “Nuove Proposte” category at the Sanremo Music Festival with her hit Sincerità. Since then, she has built a multifaceted career across music, film, television, and publishing, also embracing acting, voice work, and writing.
She has received several major awards, including the Assomusica Award, the Mia Martini Critics’ Award, two Wind Music Awards, and a Nastro d’Argento. In 2015, she returned to Sanremo as co-host of the Festival. In 2024, she released the singles Baciami Stupido and Canta Ancora, the latter featured in the top-grossing Italian film Il ragazzo dai pantaloni rosa.
For her Los Angeles debut, Arisa will be joined by pianist Giuseppe Barbera in an intimate live set featuring a selection of her most popular songs.
This event is part of Make Music Day – Festa della Musica, an initiative of the Italian Ministry of Culture and the European Commission to promote and celebrate music around the world.
