Alessandro Montelli

Italian Canadian Alt-pop artist Alessandro Montelli began his career performing in his hometown, Bari in the south of Italy. Soon after releasing his first single and promoting it all over the country, his passion for the Canadian music scene and his family’s roots made him move to Toronto in 2016 where he would experience busking and make a name for himself in both the music industry and in the Italian community.

After working with local producers Atom & Bluxz, in 2021 he dropped his singles “Life”, “Vaffanculo” and “Anything You Need” delivering a mix of pop-punk and hip-hop calling it Alternative Pop. In 2022 Alessandro gets to perform his songs to sold out audiences, both solo and with his band, in some of the most prestigious venues that Toronto has to offer, such as the El Mocambo, Horseshoe Tavern, Lee's Palace, and the Axis Club, as well as showcasing for Breaking Sound, Lemmon Stage, Sofar Sound and Canadian Music week.

One of his latest singles "You all have a bf", presents a fun storytelling on what could be everyone's dating life in the 2020s. At the end of 2023 the artist gets chosen to represent the Italian community in Canada at the italian competition NYCcanta, in New York City which allows him to perform his newest italian song “Chiedere Asilo” in front of a full house at the Oceana Theatre in Brooklyn, also aired later on italian national Tv, Rai 2 and Rai Play.

Currently working towards his new EP, Alessandro is relentless with his projects and he believes he brings a whole new vibe to the music scene, performing both in Italian and English.
