Career

2007–2009: SanremoLab, X Factor and breakthrough

In 2007, Noemi took part in SanremoLab, a competition aimed at selecting three artists to debut in the Newcomers Section of the Sanremo Music Festival 2008. She was among the twelve finalists with her song "Briciole", but she was not chosen by the artistic director of the 2008 contest, Pippo Baudo. With her band, named Bagajajo, Noemi also performed in several small venues in Rome, mainly singing English-language covers.

In late 2008, Noemi auditioned for the second series of X Factor, which started in January 2009. She was one of four singers in the "Over 25" category, mentored by Morgan.

Noemi recorded a studio version of Vasco Rossi's "Albachiara" and Ivano Fossati's "La costruzione di un amore", originally performed at X Factor, for the official show's compilation albums, titled X Factor Anteprima Compilation 2009 and X Factor Finale Compilation 2009, respectively.

She was eliminated before the semi-finals of the competition, placing fifth overall.

Despite this, she appeared as a guest in the following episode of the show, performing her debut single "Briciole". The song was her entry in SanremoLab 2007, but was never released or publicly performed before.

In April 2009, the single peaked at number two on the Italian Singles Chart compiled by FIMI.

Shortly after, her self-titled extended play was released by Sony Music. The studio set featured four original songs, including the single "Briciole", and two covers.

During the summer of 2009, Noemi toured in Italy, performing at several small local events and patronal festivals.

On 21 June 2009, she was among 43 female artists performing at the San Siro stadium in Milan during the charity event Amiche per l'Abruzzo, created by Laura Pausini with the purpose to raise funds supporting the reconstruction in the territories affected by the 2009 L'Aquila earthquake. She sang Irene Grandi's "La tua ragazza sempre" with Grandi herself, Syria and Dolcenera.

On 19 August of the same year, she also performed at the Concerto per Viareggio, a charity event, created by Zucchero, whose proceeds were devolved to the families of the victims of the Viareggio train derailment.

Noemi's first full-length studio album, Sulla mia pelle, was released by Sony Music on 2 October 2009. The album, produced by Diego Calvetti, featured a song written by Baustelle's frontman Francesco Bianconi, and a duet with Fiorella Mannoia, titled "L'amore si odia". "L'amore si odia" was released as the album's lead single, and spent two consecutive weeks at number one on the Italian FIMI singles chart.

From October 2009 to early January 2010, Noemi went on a promotional tour across Italy, titled Sulla mia pelle Live, performing in venues such as the Otel club in Florence, the Garibaldi Theatre in Modica, and the Verdi Theatre in Cesena.

2010: Sanremo Music Festival debut

Noemi was chosen as one of the artists competing in the main section of the 60th Sanremo Music Festival. She performed the song "Per tutta la vita", which was among the top ten entries reaching the final night of the competition, but did not qualify in the top three songs. The final rankings for entries placing between 10th position and 4th position were never revealed, although Avvenire later published an article listing televote results.

"Per tutta la vita" became Noemi's second number one single, and was featured on a new edition of Sulla mia pelle, released in February 2010.

To promote the album, Noemi performed several live concerts across Italy between April and October 2010. The tour also included a concert in Nova Gorica, Slovenia.

The track "Vertigini" was released to radio stations on 7 May 2010 as the album's last single. A new version of the song was also released as a digital download. Following a dispute concerning phonographic rights with the trade association SCF, radio stations refused to air all new singles released in mid-May 2010, including "Vertigini".

In May 2010, Noemi received three Wind Music Awards, recognizing domestic sales of the album Sulla mia pelle, as well as those of the singles "L'amore si odia" and "Per tutta la vita".

On 28 January 2011, Noemi released the single "Vuoto a perdere", written by Vasco Rossi and Gaetano Curreri and featured on the soundtrack of Fausto Brizzi's film Women vs. Men. The song received a nomination at the Nastro d'Argento 2011 for Best Original Song. It also served as the lead single for Noemi's second studio album, RossoNoemi, released on 22 March 2011. The album also included the singles "Odio tutti i cantanti" and "Poi inventi il modo".

During the summer of 2011, Noemi promoted the album with several performances, including the concerts of her RossoNoemi Tour 2011, a set at the Heineken Jammin' Festival, and appearances as an open act for Vasco Rossi.

In 2012, Noemi returned to the Sanremo Music Festival, competing with the song "Sono solo parole" and placing third overall. Her entry, penned by singer-songwriter Fabrizio Moro, achieved commercial success, receiving a double platinum certification by FIMI. It also launched a new edition of her second album, RossoNoemi 2012 Edition.

In March 2012, she embarked on a live tour in Italian theaters. On 1 May 2012, Noemi also took part in the International Workers' Day concert in Piazza San Giovanni Laterano, Rome, annually supported by Italian trade unions CGIL, CISL and UIL.
