Shari Noioso (born 14 October 2002), known professionally as Shari, is an Italian singer.
Noioso was born in Monfalcone, and then grew up in Udine.[1] She showed an immediate interest in music at the age of 10, starting to study singing and piano at The Groove Factory Academy.[2]
In 2015, she took part in the second edition of Italian talent show Tú sí que vales on Canale 5 and, after successfully making it through the initial stages, performed during the final without making the podium.[3] After the talent show experience, Shari obtained a recording contract with the label Warner Music, with whom he released covers of "Imagine" and "The Sound of Silence" and the debut single "Don't You Run".[4] In 2016, Shari was a support artist for Il Volo during the L'amore si muove Tour.[2]
In 2019, she collaborated with the duo Benji & Fede on the single "Sale",[5] which was certified gold with over 35 000 units sold in Italy.[6] In the same year, she was confirmed among the twenty semi-finalists at Sanremo Giovani 2019, but failed to obtain a pass to enter the Sanremo Music Festival 2020.[7] In 2021, she collaborated with rapper Salmo on the single "L'angelo caduto",[8][9] taken from the latter's studio album FLOP, which was also certified gold for its sales of over 35 000 units.[10]
In July 2022, after obtaining a contract with Columbia Records, she released her debut EP Fake Music, which deviated from her previous works by being influenced by genres such as black music and soul.[11] In November of the same year, Noioso was one of 12 acts selected to compete in Sanremo Giovani, a televised competition aimed at selecting six newcomers as contestants of the 73rd Sanremo Music Festival.[12] Shari manage to qualify in the top six, with her entry "Sotto voce", by rightfully accessing the festival in the Campioni category.[13] "Egoista" was later announced as her entry for the Sanremo Music Festival 2023.[14]
