Michele Zarrillo is an Italian singer-songwriter born in Rome in 1957.
He made his debut in the 70s, founding the rock group "Semiramis". Subsequently, he approached pop music expressing his strong compositional skills by signing songs for Renato Zero and Ornella Vanoni. He won the 1987 Sanremo Festival in the new proposals category, with the song "La notte dei pensieri". At Sanremo '94, Zarrillo presents "Cinque Giorni": the song will have extraordinary success, becoming one of the classics of Italian music. The following tour in theaters confirms Zarrillo's formidable artistic moment. After Sanremo '96, in which he participated with "L’elefante e la farfalla", he released the homonymous album.
"L’amore vuole amore" (October 1997) is a collection of his most significant songs. The album is distributed in many European countries and released in a Spanish version. These songs, “Una rosa blu” especially, obtain a great success which is followed by a tour of over 120 dates. In 2002 he made his first live album, recorded during two concert events at the Puccini Theater in Florence and the Horus Club in Rome.
In 2009 he crowned his thirty-year career with the release of the CD + DVD "Michele Zarrillo live - Rome". In 2017 he returns to Sanremo with "Mani nelle mani", a song published in the new unreleased album "Vivere e rinascere" and presented in a series of concerts all sold out. In 2020 Michele Zarrillo returns to the Sanremo Festival with the song "Nell’estasi o nel fango".
