Pietro Lombardi serves his bracing German beats on the sunny side. After he won TV talent show Deutschland sucht den Superstar in 2011, chart-topping debut album Jackpot proved a self-fulfilling prophecy. With solo releases and high-profile collabs with fellow DSDS graduate Marie Wegener and rapper Kay One, he meshes R&B ballads, symphonic pop and reggaetón rhythms. The result is an irresistibly spirited cosmopolitan cocktail that guarantees his rightful place in the limelight.
