Born in
Rome to a
Cape Verdean father and an Italian mother, Yuman was raised around
Valle Aurelia, a metropolitan district of
Rome. His music career began in 2016, with the meeting of record producer Francesco Cataldo who offered him a recording contract with the label Leave Music. In 2018 Cataldo produced Yuman's debut single "Twelwe", which was on rotation on mainstream Italian radio. In 2019 he obtained a recording contract with the label
Universal Music Italia, with whom he released his debut studio album "Naked Thoughts", which was anticipated by the single "Run". Yuman placed first during the show, with his entry "Mille notti", by rightfully accessing the festival in the category. "Ora e qui" was later announced as his entry for the Sanremo Music Festival 2022. == Discography ==
