The first two single excerpts are played by over a hundred radio stations throughout the country.
In April 2016 the Italian presentation tour of the album began: his audience grows and consolidates, leading him to play in some of the main Italian festivals and to collect over 50 live shows in a few months.
In 2016 he received the MEI PIMI Speciale 2016 award and won 2016 Targa Tenco.
In 2018 he released the second album “Vivere o Morire”, which came directly to fifth in the list of records and to the first of the best-selling vinyls in Italy. The release of the album was anticipated by the launch of the first single “Our last song”. In 2018 Motta won the Targa Tenco with “Vivere o Morire”.
