Early life and education

[edit | edit source]

Born in 2006 in Vigevano, in the province of Pavia, Sarah Toscano is the youngest of three children of Petra Polomsky, a German teacher from Stuttgart, and Marco Toscano, an entrepreneur in the leather industry.[3] She has an older sister, Giulia, and an older brother, Lorenzo.[4][5]

At the age of five, she began studying piano.[6] During her childhood, Toscano was musically influenced by international pop music artists such as Dua Lipa, Ariana Grande, Olivia Rodrigo, and Britney Spears as well as Italian artists including Annalisa, Chiara Galiazzo, Mina, Lucio Dalla, and Ultimo.[7][8]

Also a tennis player, Toscano competed in the women's C series and won the provincial tennis championship in 2020 with the Sporting Club Selva Alta.[9][10] She attended the "Vittorio Bachelet" High School in Abbiategrasso, Milan, but interrupted her studies in her final year to participate in the television show Amici di Maria De Filippi.[11][12]

In 2022, her father introduced her to music manager Andrea Dulio, who arranged for her to record her first songs in a studio with producer Pietro Foresti.[13] Toscano was selected as one of the twenty finalists in the Area Sanremo singing competition, one of the Sanremo Music Festival's selection for newcomers.[14] Although she was not chosen as a competitor for Sanremo Giovani, she won the plaque dedicated to Vittorio De Scalzi.[15]

On 21 October, Toscano's debut EP, Riflesso, was released. Distributed by Universal, it featured six tracks, including her first single, "9 giugno", released on that very date.[16][17]

In April 2025, Forbes Italia magazine included her among the Italian under-30s who will have the greatest impact in the future for the entertainment category.[55][56] That same month, she featured in Carl Brave's single "Perfect".[57][58] On 18 May, during the final of the twenty-fourth edition of Amici, she premiered her new single "Taki", released on May 23.[59][60]
