Chicco Allotta is an accomplished composer, arranger and the current keyboardist with world-renowned British super group Incognito.

Classically trained in piano from an early age, he has built a versatile career spanning multiple continents and now brings his new project Chicco Allotta and The Groovers to stages across the globe.

April 10, 2026 sees ‘Secundagenie’ the new album by Chicco Allotta and The Groovers available on all digital platforms with live shows across Europe to accompany the launch. This project showcases a Nu-Jazz sound blending ethno, jazz, and fusion elements, while maintaining a deep connection to the artist’s Sicilian roots.

After an extensive career in the Italian music industry where he performed at one of Italy’s most prestigious national events - the Concerto del Primo Maggio in Rome, playing in front of 500,000 people as a member of his original band, Chiaramira, Chicco moved to London in 2014. Thanks to his technical expertise and stylistic versatility, he quickly gained recognition within the UK music scene, collaborating with numerous renowned artists and performing in high-profile clubs and festivals. His London-based collaborations include artists such as Davide “Shorty” Sciortino, 24 Pesos Band, Chantae Cann, Giulio Malaisi, Imaani Saleem, and Tony Momrelle.

In 2022, Bluey (Jean-Paul Maunick) invited Chicco to join Incognito for an ongoing world tour. Between 2022 and 2023, the band recorded their studio album “Into You” in London, featuring Chicco’s track “1993,” which became one of the most iconic and celebrated pieces both on record and live.

Since then, Chicco has performed regularly at major international jazz festivals and prestigious venues across Europe, the United States, Japan, Indonesia, and South Africa.
Chicco Allotta (vocals and keyboards) is joined by an outstanding band: Massimiliano Laganà on bass, Luca Barbato on drums, and Luca Meneghello on guitar.
