New rising talent: Baltimora

A keyboard sits behind him in the studio where we are having our interview. Edoardo Spinsante turns around and improvises the Baltimora riff so I can hear it: he is only 21, but that “cute little riff”, as he calls it, already has a long story behind it that began in his high school years and culminated on the stage of the talent show that boosted his popularity. And the rest is history.

Baltimora X Factor — Total look **Salvatore Ferragamo**, earrings **Radà**

From the first CDs his uncle gave him as gifts when he was a child, to the nights spent writing to overcome unease and insomnia, up to that roar after his second live performance at X-Factor (“When I realised that I should stop beating myself up and thinking that I wasn’t good enough”). Nowadays, Edoardo is an overflowing river. He tells me about his debut EP, “Marecittà”, and is already talking about the next one – how wonderful the adrenaline is at the peak of one’s creative phase.
