Pierdavide Carone, born on June 30, 1988, in Rome, emerged as an Italian pop singer and songwriter after first gaining notice through the reality competition Amici di Maria de Filippi. On the program’s ninth season, which ran from 2009 into 2010, he placed third, trailing winner Emma Marrone and runner-up Loredana Errore. His subsequent full-length debut, the 2010 Sony Music release Una Canzone Pop, reached the top of the Italian albums chart; Rudy Zerbi handled production while Carone supplied every song himself, and the project yielded the chart-topping single “Di Notte.” Carone also penned “Per Tutte le Volte Che,” the song that propelled another Amici di Maria de Filippi alumnus, Valerio Scanu, to victory at the 2010 Festival di Sanremo.
