Biography

Senhit was born and raised in Bologna, Italy by her Eritrean parents. She started her career abroad. She performed in musicals like Fame, The Lion King and Hair in Switzerland and Germany.

In 2002, she returned to Italy and claimed to fame in the Italian music business releasing her debut album in 2006 and her second album Un tesoro è necessariamente nascosto in 2007 with these singles: "La mia città è cambiata", "La cosa giusta", "La faccia che ho". In 2009, Senhit released her third album, the English language So high. Three singles were released off of the record: "Work Hard", "No More" and "Party on the Dance Floor".

She represented San Marino in the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 that was held in Düsseldorf[1] with the song "Stand By". Following her Eurovision participation she released a new pop single, "Through the Rain", on 22 June 2011. In April 2012 Senhit released her single "AOK" in the United States. During 2014 Senhit was a permanent guest on the Canale 5 Sunday show "Domenica Live", choosing to be called Senhit to mark the new chapter of her career.

Senhit would have represented San Marino again at the Eurovision Song Contest 2020 in Rotterdam with the song "Freaky!".[2] However, she will represent San Marino at the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 after the 2020 contest cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Leading up to her participation in 2021, Senhit released monthly covers of previous Eurovision songs as part of her #FreakyTripToRotterdam series, including "Rise Like A Phoenix," "Everyway That I Can" and "Amar pelos dois."[3]
