Gianluca Grignani (born 7 April 1972) is an Italian rock singer-songwriter and guitarist.
Biography
His musical career took off after meeting guitarist and producer Massimo Luca. After Grignani performed in the 1994 Festival de San Remo, PolyGram persuaded him to release the acoustic ballad "La mia storia tra le dita".
In 1995, Grignani managed a breakthrough with the album Destinazione Paradiso, which sold two million copies within a year, and for which he was awarded the Telegatto.
"La mia storia tra le dita" became a number-one hit all over Iberoamerica and other countries in Europe.
His most famous song was based on a beautiful woman named Karen, for whom he left his lover Damaris.[1][2]
