Motta

Francesco Motta is a singer-songwriter and composer with four studio albums and one live album to his name, hundreds of shows played first with Criminal Jokers and then as a solo artist, and several soundtracks for documentaries and arthouse films.

A graduate of the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia, his artistic relationship with film remains active to this day: Motta is currently working on two soundtracks for upcoming Italian films. Among his music awards and honors, Motta has twice won the Targa Tenco for best album (in 2016 as Best Debut Album with "The End of Your Twenties", and in 2018 as Overall Best Album with "Live or Die").

In 2023 came his triumphant return with "La musica è finita", about two years after the album "Simple".
