Rose Villain: From Sanremo Success to Personal Triumphs

It's Saturday and as every weekend it's time for "Verissimo". Between couple interviews, unprecedented revelations and unexpected confessions, many guests will be in Silvia Toffanin's living room to tell their stories and confide in her. Among them, Rose Villain also arrives, fresh from the success of Sanremo 2024 with her "Click Boom"! Verissimo, the weekend guests (Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 March): from Patrick Zaki to Mew but also Rose Villian and Fabio Canino. Who is the singer Rose Villain? Rosa Luini, known as Rose Villain, was born on July 20, 1989 under the sign of Cancer, in Milan but currently lives in New York. Born and raised in Milan, Rosa Luini is the daughter of the Milanese entrepreneur Franco Luini, founder of the Tucano brand, and Fernanda Melloni, who passed away in 2017. Rose Villain is a singer-songwriter famous in Italy especially for her numerous participations in successful singles. Having grown up in the Lombard capital, she moved to Los Angeles once she came of age. Here she graduated from the Musicians Institute of Hollywood's contemporary music conservatory and began to take her first steps as a musician. Her stage name is inspired by her first punk cover band, The Villains. In the following years, she moved to New York and studied theater and music on Broadway. The father (famous) Rose Villain defines herself as a "tomboy": she says - to Rodaio Deejay - that the merit of her success is not due to her beauty ("what a gigantic bullshit") or, especially, to her father, Franco Luini, an established businessman, founder and CEO of the famous brand of bags and accessories Tucano. "The absurdity is that when a woman is successful, we must always find the man who made it happen for her. My father is an entrepreneur, yes, he invented motorcycle covers, great, great dad. He helped me study abroad, true, and not without sacrifices. I will always thank him because he believed in me. But he is not the one who writes my songs." The career She collaborates with the label Machete Empire Records and with the rappers and producers DJ Slait, Enigma, and Hell Raton. During this period, Rose Villain releases her debut single Get the Fuck Out of My Pool and Geisha, which earns her the title of artist of the month on MTV New Generation. She also collaborates with Salmo for his single Don Mèdelin, whose success is the beginning of a long series of participations in tracks by prominent artists. In the following years, she collaborates with many famous rappers, including Guè Pequeno in Chico, Emis Killa for Psycho, with Mondomarcio for his Corona Love Story, and Fabri Fibra in GoodFellas. As a solo artist, she continues to release many singles, including Kitty Kitty, Don’t Call The Po-Po, Funeral Party, and It’s Snowing, Motherfucker. In 2023 her debut album, Radio Gotham, is released, in which some of the artists she collaborated with in the past return the favor. Rose Villain sings again with Salmo in Lamette and with Guè Pequeno in Elvis. Another of the singles extracted from the album is Gangsta Love, sung together with Rosa Chemical, whom the songwriter also accompanies at the Sanremo Festival 2023 in the duets evening. The duo performs a cover of America by Gianna Nannini. The successes The greatest successes of Rose Villain to date are: Chico (2020) with Guè Pequeno and Luchè, Fantasmi (2023) with Geolier, Fragole (2022) with Achille Lauro, Michelle Pfeiffer (2023) with Tony Effe, and Io, me ed altri guai (2023) Risk of Exclusion at Sanremo avoided Rose Villain risked being excluded from Sanremo 2024 due to a clause: in fact, the young woman presented her new single on Amici after being announced as a big competitor at Sanremo but it is mandatory for singers not to appear on TV and radio from the date of the official announcement of the cast in the competition, so much so that Mahmood had to cancel his appearance on Che Tempo Che Fa, after being included in the official list. However, luck wanted that the episode where Rose Villain was present had been recorded before Amadeus announced the competitors of Sanremo and for this reason, she remained in the competition. The new album The new album, the second, was released on March 8, International Women's Day. It is titled "Radio Sakura": "Because I dedicated it to the women of my life. They taught me that resilience and fragility are a strength." - Rose Villain The term Sakura, in Japan, indicates the famous cherry trees that bloom in pink: in the Land of the Rising Sun they are a real national obsession and see their maximum splendor precisely between March and April, the flowering period. Private life In May 2023, Rose Villain married in New York to Andrea Ferrara, known as Sixpm, one of the most important and popular producers in the music scene. The two celebrated their wedding with Neapolitan pizzas and aperitifs in Soho with over 120 guests from Italy.
