Italian pop singer Emma, born Emma Marrone on May 25, 1984, in Florence, Italy, gained initial fame as the winner of the reality TV show Popstars in 2003 before forming the trio Lucky Star. Despite limited success, the group disbanded after releasing their debut album LS3 in 2006. Emma later joined the group M.J.U.R. but faced further challenges in achieving commercial success.
In 2010, Emma rose to prominence by winning the reality show Amici di Maria de Filippi and releasing her solo debut EP, Oltre, under Universal Music. The EP topped the charts and produced hit singles like "Calore" and "Meravigliosa." Her subsequent albums, Sar├▓ Libera (2011) and Schiena (2013), both achieved critical and commercial success, with the latter reaching number one in Italy and earning multi-platinum certifications.
