Cesare Cremonini (Italian pronunciation: [ˈtʃeːzare kremoˈniːni, ˈtʃɛː-]; born 27 March 1980) is an Italian singer-songwriter and actor.

Cremonini was the leader of Lùnapop, a successful and popular Italian pop band between 1999 and 2002.[1] In 2002 Lùnapop was disbanded. He has since pursued a successful solo career. His Lùnapop bandmate, Nicola 'Ballo' Balestri, has joined him in his new band, along with other musicians.

The singer's biggest solo hits include "Vieni a vedere perché", "Latin Lover", "Gongi-Boy", "Marmellata #25", "Dicono di me", "Figlio di un re", "Il Comico", "Mondo", "Buon viaggio (Share The Love)", "Poetica" and "Nessuno Vuole Essere Robin". Since going solo, he has released six albums: Bagus, Maggese, 1+8+24, Il primo bacio sulla Luna, La Teoria dei Colori, Logico and Possibili Scenari. There is an additional "special edition" version of Bagus with a DVD containing extra bonus and music videos. His album Maggese was partly recorded at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London. The Beatles' influence on the album could not be clearer from the clean piano playing, the horns, the organs, the middle eight where the horns and clarinet go into a musical break and Cremonini sings “it’s cold but it’s London!”.[2]
