We caught up with him during the last Paris Fashion Week where he had two sold-out shows. He decided to explore fully and freely his artistic approach mixing music and fashion. Simultaneously, Mahmood has always shown an interest in fashion and became one of the new faces of Ricardo Tisci for Burberry. Being overtly gay, he used this as a force and stated that ‘I’m gay’ leads nowhere” and “If we continue with these distinctions, homosexuality will never be perceived as a normal thing, which it is”.Ībove all this, this victory gave his first major hit with Solid which became the most successful Italian song on Spotify and gave him the chance to go worldwide. Representing Italy during the latest Eurovision Song Contest where he finished at second place, the singer-songwriter attracted the wrath of Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, who is known for his anti-immigrant views, criticized him for winning over another Italian participant who received the highest number of public votes. In May 2019, the career of Alessandro Mahmood known professionally as Mahmood radically changed.
