Life and career
Emilio Munda was born in Fermo, Middle Italy, in 1982.
His family introduced him to music at the age of four, when he started to learn to play drums.
Later, at the age of twelve, he started to write his first songs and through the years he learned to play piano, keyboards, acoustic and electric guitar, bass guitar and drums, by self-education. Subsequently he started to experiment with modern singing.
His first significant collaboration started when some of his compositions were chosen by Silvia Mezzanotte[8] (lead singer of Matia Bazar) to be featured in her solo album "Lunatica" in 2008. The song "Non c'è contatto", in particular, was selected as the album's debut single which was accompanied by a video starring actress Carolina Crescentini. Emilio also arranged Mezzanotte's summer single "Nell'aria", as well as creating the live performance arrangements for her "Lunatica Tour", such as "Intro", "Sequencer" and other instrumental parts.
Always in 2008, another one of his songs "Un tuffo nel vuoto" was released as part of the album "A24" by Pquadro: a duo hailing from popular TV talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi that figured among the winners at the 57th Sanremo Festival.
Later on, Emilio acted as co-author and arranger for their single "Anime di vetro",[9][10] featuring the collaboration of Nomadi violinist Sergio Reggioli.[11] Emilio wrote more music for the show Amici,[12] including the show’s first original single "Il gusto del caffè",[13] the song was performed by Valeria Romitelli; the first singer chosen to participate in the show’s primetime slot.
In the same year Munda wrote for Umberto Tozzi the single "Cerco ancora te",[14] which was included in the album “Non solo live". The song was later re-released in France, Belgium and Switzerland as part of "Yesterday", the singer's international greatest hits collection.

One of Emilio's songs, "Di sogni e illusioni",[16] was also included in "Fermoimmagine Deluxe", Renga's first hits collection, released after the singer's participation in the 62nd Sanremo edition.

Shortly afterwards, a new album/collection by Francesco Renga, named "The Platinum Collection" was released, featuring two songs composed by Munda himself.
