## Life and career

### Early life

Carmen Consoli was born in [Catania](/source/Catania), [Sicily](/source/Sicily), to a [Sicilian](/source/Sicilians) father, Giuseppe Consoli, and a [Venetian](/source/Veneto) mother, Maria Rosa Toffolo, and grew up in the small town of [San Giovanni la Punta](/source/San_Giovanni_la_Punta).[4] She started playing guitar at the age of nine and at fourteen she started performing with a rock-blues band, the Moon Dog's Party.[5]

### 1990s

Consoli served as backing vocalist in the 1991 Caftua album *One Day* and in the 1994 Lula album *Da dentro*.[6] In 1995, during a trip in Rome, she made her first television appearance, performing the song "L'isola del tesoro" (later released as "Novembre '99" in the album *[Stato di necessità](/source/Stato_di_necessit%C3%A0)*) in the [Rai 3](/source/Rai_3) [Michele Santoro](/source/Michele_Santoro)'s talk show *Tempo reale*.[6] Returning to Catania, she was chosen by producer Francesco Virlinzi as the vocalist of a rock group which never materialized and whose name was an homage to [Big Brother and the Holding Company](/source/Big_Brother_and_the_Holding_Company), "Big Brothers (and the Katanise Company)"; while the project was eventually scrapped, the other two members of the band Massimo Roccaforte and Salvo Distefano became longtime collaborators of Consoli.[6] The same year she was among the winners of Sanremo Giovani, a televised competition aimed at selecting the contestants of the [Sanremo Music Festival](/source/Sanremo_Music_Festival) newcomers section, with her first single "Quello che sento".[6] In 1996, she entered the [46th Sanremo Festival](/source/Sanremo_Music_Festival_1996) with the song "Amore di plastica", and released her debut album, *[Due Parole](/source/Due_parole)*.[6]

Her next album, *[Confusa e felice](/source/Confusa_e_felice)* (1997) was a critical and commercial success, selling over 130,000 copies.[6] The same year, she got awarded the [Premio italiano della musica](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Premio_italiano_della_musica&action=edit&redlink=1) [[it](https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premio_italiano_della_musica)] award as revelation of the year and she embarked on her first tour.[6] In September 2007 she was for a week the host of the program *So 90's* on [MTV](/source/MTV_(Italian_TV_channel)).[6]

In 1998, she released her third album, *[Mediamente isterica](/source/Mediamente_isterica)*, a concept album representing different kind of female figures.[6] This album was successful but not as much as her previous work, selling over 80,000 copies.[6] Between December 1998 and February 1999, she was a regular guest of the [Italia 1](/source/Italia_1) variety show *Comici*.[6]
