X Factor 2021, Baltimore speaks: “In Sanremo I could never say no”

“Win X Factor is something absurd. Making music is something I’ve always done for myself, which gives me a lot and which, above all, I enjoy doing “. These are the first hot words that Edoardo Spinsante, aka Baltimore, shares with journalists a few minutes after being elected the winner of the fifteenth edition of X Factor, aired on Sky and in simulcast on TV8 on the evening of 9 December. In the room for journalists set up at the Assago Forum, the young 20-year-old singer from Ancona says he wants to continue “to do this, with my music and that of others” while always keeping his feet on the ground.

Just before being sucked into the celebrations and answering the many phone calls that begin to arrive at exaggerated speed, Edoardo stays on the sidelines with us for a few bars. His eyes are wide open, the adrenaline still running through his veins, and almost struggles to keep the attention intact, now projected to the embrace he will soon give to his judge Hell Raton and to all the boys, from gIANMARIA to the Bengala Fire, with whom he shared a piece of life that he will carry inside forever.

In its path to X Factor there were some falls – like ending up in the ballot: would you ever have expected to win?
“I never expected that. I got to this point unassuming and I was ready for anything but victory. I was happy to have sung all three times but, going to the final match with Gianma, I was pretty sure he would win. I have yet to realize it, but I am extremely grateful and happy ».

Who are you dedicating this victory to?
“I dedicate it to myself, my mother, my father and all the people who have been close to me.”

Among the songs you proposed at the medley, is there one that you felt more yours?
«They are songs that fully represent my path, my sound and my musical taste. What I like most to sing, though, is A man who loves you di Battisti, because it moves me deeply ».

Many winners of X Factor in the past they have tried the big step by going to Sanremo. Is this something that could be part of your plans for the future?
«Sanremo is the dream of any songwriter. If the opportunity arose, it would be impossible to say no. “

Maybe with a song she wrote.
“That certainly. I wouldn’t sing a song not written by me. ‘
