Early years

Cantiello was born on 25 August 2000 in Sant'Arpino, Campania. He has been interested in music since early childhood initially singing in the choir of his church, but had started singing on his own when he was 9.

Music career

He gained national attention after taking part in Ti lascio una canzone in 2014. The following 15 November, he represented Italy at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2014 with his song "Tu primo grande amore", fishing first with a total of 159 points, just twelve points ahead from Bulgaria's Planet of the Children who placed second.[4] He was Italy's first ever entrant at the competition and also the only male solo singer in the entire competition. He then made an appearance in the subsequent contest in Bulgaria. He read out the Italian votes and handed the trophy to the winner. In 2022, for the occasion of the 20th edition of the event, Cantiello performed as part of the winners interval act in Yerevan.[5]
