Syria

After completing her drama studies, Italian pop singer Syria was persuaded by Claudio Mattone to enter the music world via the 1995 San Remo Festival. The following year she issued her debut album Non Ci Sto, with L'Angelo arriving in 1997. That same year she returned to the San Remo stage with the song "Sei Tu." As her profile rose within Italy's pop circles, Syria released Station Wagon in 1998 and Come Una Goccia D'Acqua two years later. February 2001 brought another appearance at the festival, where she performed Biagio Antonacci's "Fantasticamente Amore."
