Ibisco was born in Bologna in 1995. His debut album, Nowhere Emilia, was released on January 14, 2022 by V4V/Virgin Records and shows us an artist capable of renewing songwriting, where expressive intensity is mixed with dark wave, post-punk and electronic sounds. He later released the single Darkamore – produced by Cosmo – contained in Darkside Emilia, the expansion of the debut album that includes new tracks and remixes.
He performed with his band on numerous Italian stages including MiAmi, Ferrara sotto le stelle, Villa Ada, Bergamo NXT. He opened concerts for Cosmo, Nation of Language, La Rappresentante di Lista, Fulminacci. After Languore, his second album released on October 20, 2023, Ibisco dropped the single Flora Erotica, put out on May 31, 2024 by V4V Records/Island Records/Universal Music Italia, which established his poetic and musical aesthetics.
His lyrics continue to be arrogant and impudent, waving, in climactic moments, provocative and detached slogans, on the border between consciousness and collective unconscious, between subjective and objective. Lack and excess, electronic hallucinations, the salvific way of poetry, bodies showing off, potential sex, tyrant eros, to be everything, magnificent images in chaos, sifting existence and tracing it on a logarithmic scale. It is impossible, and useless, to define Ibisco: his songs are dark rooms where excitement and fear coexist.
