The Italian rapper and producer Salmo is known for his aggressive, stormy mix of hardcore hip hop, metal and bass-heavy electronic music. Despite this outspoken anti-commercial approach, he has topped the Italian charts and broken multiple streaming records. Salmo began his musical career in the underground scene on Sardinië and was initially part of various bands before focusing entirely on rap. His solo breakthrough came with the album ‘The Island Chainsaw Massacre’ in 2011, with which he gained fame in Italy thanks to his aggressive flow and experimental sound. With a lot of new music in his pocket, Salmo will soon be visiting Amsterdam.
