Cristian Bugatti (born 2 August 1973), known professionally as Bugo, is an Italian singer-songwriter, artist and actor. He spent his youth in the rice fields of Cerano, in the Province of Novara, in the Piedmont region. A self-taught artist, Bugo did not attend art or music school. In 2000 he moved to Milan, where he started his musical career. According to AllMusic, Bugo was one of the most interesting and innovative artists to emerge from the Italian independent scene of the 1990s. Although he is beloved by fans and critics, others consider him a comedy act. Blending international sound and Italian lyrics, Bugo became a cantautore (singer-songwriter) of the 2000s who moved the political songs of the 1970s into the disillusioned songwriting of the 2000s. He is considered a pioneer of the Italian singer-songwriter scene, and the neologism fantautore has been coined to describe him. He participated in the Sanremo Music Festival 2020 and Sanremo Music Festival 2021.
==Musical career== In 1992, Bugo left Cerano to serve in the Italian military. During his service, he learned to play the guitar and began writing songs. Bugo's first two albums, La Prima Gratta (2000) and Sentimento Westernato (2001) were released on independent labels. In 2002 he signed with Universal Music Group, and was chosen Artist of the Year.
