Career

Via Anfossi started his career in the latter half of the 1980s. At first, he joined the band 16K, as an accountant, with the nickname Aken. In 1998, he joined Armata 16, a band formed by former members of 16K. His first effort as a rapper/singer came on the album Spiriti Liberi, released by Armata 16 in 1999.
