Background


Born in Parma, Scialpi had an immediate success in the Summer of 1983 with the song "Rocking Rolling".[1] Considered a sex symbol, in the 1980s he amassed several domestic hits, alternating romantic ballads (such as "Cigarettes and Coffee") and upbeat songs marked by futuristic lyrics (such as the cited "Rocking Rolling" and "No East No West", with whom he entered the competition at the 1986 Sanremo Music Festival).[1] In 1988 he won the Festivalbar with the song "Pregherei". Since the 1990s he gradually slowed down his production although he never dropped out from music altogether.[1]

Scialpi also appeared as an actor in an episode of the TV series Derrick and starred on several stage musicals.[2] In 1990 he co-hosted the variety television Ricomincio da due together with Raffaella Carrà.

In 2012 he changed his stage name to Shalpy.[2]

In July 2015 he announced his marriage with Roberto Blasi, an actor. They had been in a relationship since 2009.[3]

In September 2015 he took part to the fourth Italian edition of Pechino Express.[4]
