Samurai Jay named October 2026 cover star for All Music Italia

Samurai Jay, born Gennaro Amatore, is the featured artist for the October 2026 cover of the digital magazine All Music Italia. The issue, titled ‘Cadere, rialzarsi, raccogliere’ (Fall, rise, collect), highlights his musical journey and resilience.

Following the success of his track ‘Ossessione’ at the 2026 Sanremo Music Festival—which achieved double platinum status—the artist has transitioned from working in bars and call centers to significant roles in the Italian music industry. In addition to his recording career, Samurai Jay will serve as one of the three artistic directors for singing on the television program ‘Amici 26’, alongside Amadeus and Rudy Zerbi, starting October 11.
