Flavio Bruno Pardini (born 7 December 1989), known professionally as Gazzelle, is an Italian singer-songwriter.[1] His stage name was chosen without any connection with Pardini's real personality, mainly because of the word's sound, and after Adidas Gazelle sneakers.[2]

His debut single, "Quella te", was released by Maciste Dischi in late 2016. At the time, he refused to appear or reveal any details about himself.[3] He later explained that he wanted to preserve his privacy and be one step back from his songs, in order to let people focus on his music.[2] His real identity and image were released in March 2017, when he released his debut album, Superbattito, and embarked on his first concert tour.[4] One year later, the album was re-released under the title Megasuperbattito, also featuring the singles "Sayonara", "Stelle filanti" and "Martelli".[5]

His second studio album, Punk (2018), was preceded by the singles "Tutta la vita", "Sopra" and "Scintille".[6] In March 2018, he performed for the first time in indoor sports arenas Mediolanum Forum in Milan and PalaLottomatica in Rome.[7] He also took part in the 2019 International Workers' Day concert in Piazza San Giovanni Laterano, Rome, annually supported by Italian trade unions CGIL, CISL and UIL.[8] A new edition of the album, Post Punk, was released in late 2019. It also included the singles "Polynesia", "Settembre" and "Una canzone che non so".[9][10] In order to promote the album, he embarked on an indoor tour in January and February 2020.[11]

He competed in the Sanremo Music Festival 2024 with the song "Tutto qui".[12][13] In March 2024, he kicked off his national tour at a sold-out show in Padua on International Women's Day.[14]
