They ended up second in the thirteenth edition of the Italian talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi[2] and debuted in 2014 with the album Domani è un altro film (prima parte), which peaked at number 1 of the FIMI's album chart and was certified double platinum in Italy.[1] They participated twice at the Sanremo Music Festival in 2015, with the song "Il mondo esplode tranne noi", and in 2016, with the song "Mezzo respiro".[1]
In 2015, lead singer Alessio Bernabei left the band to pursue a solo career, and was replaced by Leiner Reflessi (2015-2017) and by guitarist Lorenzo Cantarini (since 2017).[3][4][5]
In 2022, the band reunited under the front man Alessio Bernabei, without Cantarini, and changed their name to Follya.
