In 2023, he topped the Italian singles chart twice with the tracks "Guasto d'amore" and "Nightmares".

Career 2012–2019: Career beginnings Bresh grew up in Bogliasco, a small municipality in the Province of Genoa where, around the age of 15, he started his musical career. In 2012, he released his first mixtape titled Cambiamenti, together with G Pillola, then known as Gughi P. In 2013, his second project titled Cosa vogliamo fare was released. Both projects contain a number of collaborations with emerging local artists, such as Izi, Vaz Tè, Tedua, Dala Pai Pai and Nader Shah, with whom he continued to collaborate in the following years.

Following the conclusion of his school studies, at the age of 19, Bresh moved to Milan, together with his friends and colleagues Rkomi, Tedua e Sonny Willa. It was certified gold in Italy by FIMI.

In 2022, Bresh appeared in Claudio Cabona's docufilm La nuova scuola genovese, in which he discussed the musical characteristics of the Genoese school artistic movement, alongside prominent Genoese musicians such as Tedua, Izi and Vaz Tè. On 26 June 2022, he appeared for the second time at the Goa-Boa festival. He also featured on Camilla Magli's song "Kanye West", released on 1 July 2022.

2023–present: Mediterraneo On 27 January 2023, Bresh released the single "Guasto d'amore". The song describes his love for his football team, Genoa, and became a stadium chant for the team. In August 2023, his single "Altamente mia" was awarded the Lunezia Prize for its musical and lyrical quality. On 26 May 2023, he was featured on Ernia's single "Parafulmini", alongside Fabri Fibra.

Musical style Bresh's musical style is primarily categorised as rap. His lyrics are often characterised by social issues, reflecting both the problems of his own life and of society as a whole. Many of his songs are autobiographical in nature, such as "Andrea". His singer-songwriter style has been compared to Fabrizio De André, who Bresh listened to from a young age.
