Eurovision Song Contest Wiki

Francesco Gabbani is an Italian singer-songwriter. He began his career in 2009 as a featured artist on Mira Leon's single "Filodoro" before releasing his debut solo single "Estate" a couple of years later. To date he has released three studio albums.

He was selected to represent his home country at the Eurovision Song Contest 2017 in Kiev with the song "Occidentali's Karma", which had direct qualification for the final, due to the nation's status as a "Big Five" member.  It was seen as both the bookies' and fan favorite to win the Contest up to the semi-final stage. However, it finished in 6th place with 334 points in the final.
