About
Thomas Raggi is an Italian guitarist and composer best known as the lead guitarist of the international rock band Måneskin. Born in Rome in 2001, he has evolved from a local student playing in high school to one of the most recognizable faces in modern rock music. His technical skill on the electric guitar anchors the band's sound while his understated stage presence complements the flamboyant energy of his frontman.
As of 2026, Raggi stands as a dual force in the industry. He continues to tour globally with Måneskin as their rhythmic backbone but has also established a distinct solo identity. His recent work on the debut album Masquerade showcases a versatility that extends beyond the band's hard-rock aesthetic, proving his ability to collaborate across genres and generations.
Early Life & Background
Raggi grew up in Rome where music became a central part of his daily life during his teenage years. He attended the Liceo Scientifico, a science-focused high school, balancing rigorous academic studies with an intense passion for playing the guitar. It was during middle school that he met Victoria De Angelis, who would later become his bassist and lifelong friend. Their shared interest in rock music sparked a creative partnership that would eventually define their future careers.
Before achieving global recognition, Raggi spent years honing his craft through self-teaching and informal lessons. He immersed himself in classic rock and alternative bands, developing a style rooted in traditional techniques but eager for innovation. The group originally formed under the name "The Boners" before adopting the moniker Måneskin in 2016. During these early days, they played small venues around Rome, building a local following through energetic live performances and original songs like "I Won't Be Your Mother." These formative years laid the groundwork for a career that would soon take them from Italian classrooms to the world stage.
Career Growth
The trajectory of Thomas Raggi's career shifted dramatically in 2021 when Måneskin won the Sanremo Music Festival with "Zitti e buoni," securing their place at Eurovision. Their subsequent victory at the Eurovision Song Contest launched them into global superstardom almost overnight. The band released platinum-selling albums Teatro d'ira: Vol. I and Vol. II, touring major festivals like Lollapalooza and Coachella, becoming the first Italian act to headline such events.
In late 2025, Raggi stepped out to release his debut solo project, Masquerade. This album marked a significant pivot, featuring collaborations with industry giants including Tom Morello, Nic Cester, and Chad Smith. The lead single showcased his vocal range alongside Cester, while the tracklist included a powerful rendition of "Killing in the Name" performed with Morello. Raggi stated that this solo work allows him to explore creative avenues distinct from the band's dynamic, enriching his contributions to future Måneskin material. As of early 2026, he balances his solo endeavors with ongoing commitments to the band's global touring schedule.
