Early life

[edit]

Mattia Barbieri was born on April 29, 2002, in the San Siro district of Milan, Italy. As he reported in an interview for GRM Daily.[4] In order to prevent himself from being sentenced to juvenile prison, he would get a job at McDonalds in 2020, later working as a waiter at a restaurant for €600 a month.[6]

Career

[edit]

In January 2020, Mattia released his debut song, "Free Samy", which was dedicated to a friend in prison.[3] By February 2021, the song had over 3 million streams on Spotify. But He began to acquire an important notoriety only in May of the same year, with the remix of Exposing Me, Chicago's Drill track belonging to King Von and Memo600, entitled by the Milanese rapper as Face to Face, which is still his most successful single on youtube. He also released "Louboutin" alongside Vale Pain, which resulted in Rondodasosa being compared to Pop Smoke.[7] It would peak at number 22 in Italy and was certified platinum by the FIMI.

In October 2020, Rondodasosa released his debut EP, Giovane Rondo, which included features from Capo Plaza and Shiva.[8] The EP peaked at number 6 and was certified gold by the FIMI.[9]

In February 2021, Rondodasosa released "Movie", which featured Central Cee;[2] the single peaked at number 26 in Italy and was certified gold by the FIMI. In May, Rondodasosa would appear on a remix of "Body" by Russ Millions and Tion Wayne alongside Capo Plaza.[10] He would also release "Dubai" (peaked at number 27), "Shawty" (peaked at number 36) and "Chinga" (peaked at number 49) in the same year.

In 2022, Rondodasosa would appear on Central Cee's "Eurovision", which was featured on 23.[11]

On November 4, 2022, Rondodasosa released his debut album, Trenches Baby. The album peaked at number 1 in Italy.

[edit]

In 2020, Mattia was reported to police for jumping on the hood of a police cruiser in San Siro.[12]

On 20 August 2021, he received a DASPO from Milanese police for 2 years following riots at a disco; the order prevented him from entering bars, discos and public places in the city.[13]
