WHAT IT IS: When it comes to Roman rockers Måneskin, there are no rules. Boasting a sound that blends the different members’ influences—rock ’n’ roll, rap, hip-hop, reggae, funk and pop—the quartet has come a long way since their days of busking in the street, First came a big 2017 X-Factor look; this year they won Eurovision. Consisting of vocalist Damiano, bassist Victoria, guitarist Thomas and drummer Ethan, Måneskin—which means “moonlight” in Danish—has earned 23 platinum and five gold records, sold over 140k tickets and played 70 sold-out dates in Italy and Europe. With the international success of their TikTok viral track “Beggin’” and current single “I WANNA BE YOUR SLAVE,” this is just the beginning.
