Luca Marzano, performing as Aka 7even, represents the 2020s evolution of the Italian 'talent show' pipeline, having gained significant national traction through the 20th season of Amici di Maria De Filippi. His sound identity is firmly rooted in the intersection of Italian melodic pop and contemporary urban genres like trap and reggaeton-influenced electropop.
