Sanremo 2025 - Bresh: I will bring myself, with naturalness and spontaneity

Bresh one of the most appreciated city scene of the new generation urban scene will be for the first time competing at the 75th Sanremo Festival with the song The lair of the crab.

6 days after the start of the Festival, we participated in a press meeting with the Genoese artist (for 10 years transplanted to Milan) – 24 platinum certifications and 11 gold – where he told himself without masks and filters, like his music, With an introspection “never end in itself but that others are given”.

From Andre (in the song “Andrea” of 2022) who “sang sang and screamed without anyone listening to it, with his suitcase in the square in the middle of people but without the tour” in Bresh who will be for the first time in the race At Ariston, in the most viewed event of the year on TV. How much have you changed on this path, artistically and, if you want, humanly?

Things have changed without realizing it, like the seasons, but the substance has always remained the same. I will try to bring Andre himself to Sanremo, 'Without lessons, without guitar'. Andre has remained that, he will try to remain that, even in an environment like Sanremo, contaminant, polluting from the point of view of the emotions of fame, of success; I will try to maintain the bush on my spirit, on my soul; In my opinion it is the right recipe to feel in peace and not to repent of nothing ”.

On the aforementioned fear in him of the overexposure (which after many reflections led him to give up the featuring in “La Dolce Vita” by Fedez):

Sanremo is an important stop, it is nice to me, to the women of my family and it is therefore to be taken with the gloves, with the helmet and the bulletproof jacket; It will be a 'war', but not from the point of view of the competition but of the commitment of the week. However we will have fun, I take it as a great trip and a great fun, then there will be the pillars of an artist's career, the tour and the album “.

However, an ice already broken at Ariston last year in the evening of the covers:

Thanks to the great Emma, what a greeting. In Tiziano Ferro's medley, very difficult pieces. I got on the stage convinced that I made the first note wrong, instead I was wrong the second! (laughs, editor's note) “.

On what led him to participate this year at the Festival, with Carlo Conti:

Trivially the women of my family, my mother, my cousin, my sister, my grandmother, have always had Totem Sanremo as Totem; I have learned the festival to know him better lately, when he had more appeal on young people. I come from Urban, a genre for which it was not the most suitable stage. Then it was cleared through customs and it was understood that we could bring this genre there too. The piece that port is more contaminated, with a more pop, more open refrain; The stanzas are more songwriting because they are more spoken but at the same time also sung, with melody behind. I cannot say to bring the rap to Sanremo but I come from that world there, however I am satisfied because I bring my mixture of genres that belongs to me and not conceived ad hoc for Sanremo “.

On what represents for him “The lair of the crab” (text by Bresh, music by Luca di Blasi, Giorgio de Lauri, Luca Ghiazzi and produced by Dibla, Jiz, Shune):

I don't want to make rhetoric pushes but it is increasingly difficult to focus on authenticity: that den is me, the deepest part, where you start when you have great sadness and disappointments but to which you then come back, to solve everything. I hope that in my story and in my words someone can find themselves in that kind of solution “.

On Friday he will duet with Cristiano De André in Faber's “Creuza de Mä”.

It is a circle that closes, that song is a safe harbor, a sacred moment, those 4-5 minutes of song remind me of the flavors, the smells, the vibes of my land, where I was born; Bring it to the Sanremo stage, in Genoese dialect, is almost banal for me, I hope it is not for the others. It is not a national-popular choice, I didn't want to distort myself with covers that did not represent me. It is a song that I sing since I was a child; They are perhaps one of the few who knew the Genoese dialect and therefore why not? With Cristiano then it is a non plus ultra, it is a guarantee seal. For me, from my point of view, it is one of the most beautiful things of this festival “.

On the meeting with Cristiano:

I was lucky enough to meet him when I was involved in a documentary on the Genoese school, thanks to Claudio Cabona, who created the project; We made a double interview and also sang Creuza with the Faber guitar, exhibited at the Viadelcampo29rosso Museum. The request to duet with Cristiano was also very natural: I called him, he was in Thailand and immediately said he was happy to do it, this gave me an immense gratification “.

The emotional and physical preparation at the Festival.

Emotional level,

I try to forget the emotions until the performance, so I am not influenced by anxiety. I try to shield myself a little. I can't wait to go on stage and present my song, I enclose everything in those 3-4 minutes “.

His preparation for Sanremo is made

A little training, gym and sports, singing lessons not to make a fool on stage and bring many friends; By playing at home, having a family next to him is important, he makes me feel serene. I will try to live it as if they were days of my common life, arriving with the greatest serenity and lightness possible “. After all, if his festival were a game, “it would be not a final but a quarter final or a semifinal. With me there are many friends in the race, for me this 'Hunger Game' is like a class trip. Clearly it is not hypocritical to say better we place better is, what is pointing is to retain my fanbase more and more and maybe find a new audience, the 'good' one, that can enter my world, non -straw fires. I want to live, make good concerts, I want people to come back, present a nice album and have new stories to tell. “

On the look he will focus on Ami Paris,

A Parisian brand I am grateful to, it is the first time with us who dresses in Sanremo. During the days we will have other brands, let's say that I will be reflected in the personality also by the outfit “.

On the Eurovision hypothesis:

They ask me if I prefer the Genoa Scudetto or win Sanremo, for me there is no doubt, the championship all my life! ” (so much so that in 2023 his “love breakdown” – 5 platinum records – was adopted as an anthem by the fans of his Genoa). “To the Eurovision we must go to compete with people who can really sing and who proposes singing performance that I cannot keep …! Not that I would disgust a possible victory, we would miss more but I don't think about it, I want to get to protect myself to fly low “.

The link with the great Genoese songwriter school

It is an inevitable relationship. I think I have mixed naturally over the years, since I am small, the rap to these great masters, this cultural heritage that has created the history and the foundations of our city from a musical point of view. Every time they ask me if they are more rapper or songwriter I never know what to answer precisely. I coined this terrible word which is 'cantautorap' that does not sound very well but that represents me, bringing more particular words than the rap world, describing many images … moreover, Genoa is the oldest city in Italy, Liguria is the region Elderly in Europe: our youth and our characteristics are diverted, that trademark is inevitable. The territory is also a mix that characterize our personalities with pleasure, from the alleys to the hills, to the sea, to the wind … “.

On the future that awaits him after Sanremo, like the new album and the First tour in the buildings (Saturday 1 November at the Palazzo dello Sport in Rome and Thursday 6 November at the Unipol Forum in Milan)?

I am very enhanced, the tour is going very well, the first date in Milan is almost sold out and we have just opened a second date, November 7th. I believe that this Sanremo is part of the path of what the album will be, where there will be wonderful songs and I love. Sanremo is beautiful but lasts a week, I hope and I wish every artist to have the tour and album as a focal point “.

On the influence of travel:

Ulysses at the end he returns home: every time I pass the Lombardy sign and I enter Liguria the synapses, focaccia, health, sea and I say nothing else … all that is the comfort area of a Ligurian. For the next trips, I miss you to visit Africa, while I fell in love with South America, I want to turn it far and wide, after being in Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina, in trekking mode, instead I want to enjoy the people, The city, take my time to enjoy cultures, people … China also inspires me a lot “.

The relationship with the city of Rome:

I always say that Genoa is my wife and Rome is my lover! I love Genoa and I choose it throughout my life but Rome almost makes you want to betray it, from an aesthetic point of view, it is the most beautiful city in the world. I shot all the European capital, I saw Paris and if he plays them, but Rome is something incredible, for monuments and people. At the level of knowledge of Roman artists, Ketama126, Franchino, Gianni Bismark, I know me since a life with Tony Effe, Achille Lauro with whom there will be a collaboration … Rome and Genoa are two sides of the same medal, they have in common the ability To desecrate myths and idols, we pay more to the substance than to the image “.

And Milan?

Milan is my 'whore', my 'discoveries' (laughs, ed), with all the respect I have for the Milanese and Milan in itself, is a city that has grown me. For many, even for the same Milanese, it is a stage. Viva Milano, thanks to the sky that is there, gives us an order, a working method … however all three cities are in my heart “.
