Ultimo is the stage name of Italian pop singer and songwriter Niccolò Moriconi (27 January 1996), who won the Best Newcomer Award at the Sanremo Song Festival in 2018 with the song “Il Ballo Delle Incertezze.” Born and raised in Rome, he started playing piano at the age of 8 and wrote his first songs during his teenage years. After a series of failed attempts to participate in the music contest shows X Factor and Amici, he won Honiro’s One Shot Game competition in 2016 and released his debut single “Chiave” in 2017. His debut album Pianetti came out later that year and peaked at Number 5 on the Italian Singles Chart, obtaining double-platinum certification. In 2018, Ultimo won the New Proposal category at the Sanremo Song Festival and received the Lunezia award on the same day he released his sophomore effort Peter Pan, which achieved pole position in Italy and was certified quintuple platinum. Further success ensued as the chart-topping album Colpo delle Favole (2019) took him on a nationwide tour, including a performance at the Olympic Stadium in Rome. Preceded by the singles “Tutto Questo Sei Tu,” “22 Setembre,” and “7+3,” his fourth full-length Solo arrived in 2021. “Sul Finale,” one of the album’s singles, went to Number 19 on FIMI’s Singles Chart.
