His compositions have been performed by various artists from both the Italian and international music scenes, earning gold and platinum records in Italy and worldwide. Twice in a row, he reached the podium at the Sanremo Music Festival as a songwriter and composer.[19]

He wrote the single "Cerco ancora te" for Umberto Tozzi,[20] which was included in the album Non solo live. The song was later re-released in France, Belgium and Switzerland as part of Yesterday, a collection of the singer's international hits.. Following this Emilio Munda won an international songwriting competition held by singer Francesco Renga.[21] After his victory, he was offered a three-year exclusive contract to work with Renga himself.
Munda's original songs were released as part of Renga's Un giorno bellissimo album, which was awarded a gold record at Wind Music Awards. One of Munda's songs, "Di sogni e illusioni",[22] was also included in Fermoimmagine Deluxe, Renga's first hits collection, released after his participation in the 62nd Sanremo edition.

He then published his song "Un mondo più vero" as the fourth track of the new album A passi piccoli by Michele Bravi, the winner of the seventh edition of X-Factor Italy.[26]
