Biography

Matteo Professione (born 29 November 1993), known professionally as Ernia, is an Italian rapper. He founded the crew Troupe D'Elite with fellow hip hop artist Ghali, also including Maite and producer Fawzi. The group released their eponymous debut extended play in 2012 under label Tanta Roba, and the album Il mio giorno preferito through Honiro Records, in 2014. After the group's dissolution, he moved to London. When he came back to Italy, he gained popularity as a solo artist in 2017, releasing his debut studio album Come uccidere un usignolo, named after a literal translation of the title of Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird. One year later, his second studio album, 68, debuted at number one on the FIMI Italian Albums Chart. In 2020, he increased his fame with the album Gemelli, which became his second number-one studio set in Italy, and spawned the chart-topping single "Superclassico", certified sextuple platinum by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry.
