Music career Tricarico rose to fame in 2000, when he released his debut single, "Io sono Francesco", which hit number one in Italy, selling more than 60,000 copies and generating some controversy following its lyrical content, which included an insult to a school teacher and was therefore censored by some radio stations.

The songs were included in the albums Il bosco delle fragole (2009) and L'imbarazzo (2011), respectively.
