BIO​
​
OMBRACORE is a Florence-based musician, singer, and composer whose name reflects a journey of transforming personal shadows into profound expression. Rooted in themes of resilience and self-discovery, his Art Pop/Rock sound turns darkness into beauty.
​
Marked by past struggles with episodes of violence and panic attacks, OMBRACORE channels these experiences into music that inspires courage and healing. Beginning his musical journey at just five years old, Gianmarco Contini (OMBRACORE) later studied classical composition at the Florence Conservatory and earned accolades in prestigious international composition competitions. His work bridges personal expression and cinematic depth, inviting listeners to explore their own paths of growth and transformation.
