Anthony Lazaro is an Italian singer-songwriter who grew up in Genoa[2], Italy, and is based in Berlin[1].

His musical style blends genres such as jazz-pop, soul, bossa nova and folk.[1][3]

Career

Early career

On 24 July 2020, Lazaro released his first EP, Basement Love. The EP had premiered the previous day in American Songwriter[4], which described it as "delicately shaped" and defined its title track "almost watercolor-esque".

In November 2020, Clash covered the release of "Set Fire to the Night", the debut album by Lazaro's electronic side project Lazer Owl.[5]

In March 2021, American Songwriter published an interview with Lazaro tied to the release of his single "Blank Spaces", describing him as an artist who finds freedom in genre-less boundaries.[6]

Later career

On 28 February 2026, Lazaro released the compilation Anthony Lazaro for Quiet Corner – Italian Graffiti, curated by Yuki Yamamoto. The 21-track compilation has been described as modern and sophisticated jazz-pop by CDJournal and includes collaborations with Jason LaPierre, Sarah Kang and Marle Thomson.[3]

Sync placements

In 2023, Lazaro had two of his songs, "Gravity" and "Time Traveling" featuring Sarah Kang, included in the music archive of The Lunar Codex.[7][8][1] The Lunar Codex is a cultural archive project that has sent the creative works of over 30,000 artists to the lunar surface as part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services programme.[9]

The same year Turkish Airlines chose his song "Strangers in Disguise" for its official advertising campaign.[8]

In 2025, two of his songs appeared in the soundtrack of the fifth season of the Netflix series Emily in Paris: "Mille Incendi" in episode 2 and "Le Luci Della Città" in episode 9.[10][11]

His song "Mille Incendi" also appeared in the 2026 Hallmark Channel film Missing the Boat.[12]

His songs have also been used in advertising campaigns for brands including Intimissimi, Samsung, Starbucks and Uniqlo. His music also appeared in the South Korean series Now, We Are Breaking Up, the US series Atlanta Medical, and the Netflix reality show Hype House.[8]

Tours

On 25 September 2024, Lazaro performed live at Mame Romantic in Tokyo, his only Japanese date during his Asian tour.[13]

Between December 2024 and January 2025, Lazaro made his debut tour of India, with live performances in Pune, Mumbai, Jaipur, Gurugram, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru, Goa and New Delhi.[1]

Musical style

Lazaro's music draws primarily from jazz-pop, with influences from R&B, soul, bossa nova and folk.[8][3]

He has an "appealing, resonant voice"[14] and his vocal style has been compared to that of Michael Franks and John Pizzarelli.[3]

Jason Scott from American Songwriter called him an artist who resists genre categorisation.[6]
