10k watt, the stage name of Alessio De Caro, is a rapper born in 2004 in Castel Volturno, in the province of Caserta, Italy. Among the first artists in the country to explore forward-thinking subgenres such as jerk and hoodtrap, he has built a distinctive musical identity through his songwriting - one of the most recognizable voices in the underground rap scene - crafting poetic imagery, sharp insights, and a memorable sense of irony.

Following the release of two EPs in 2024 that helped define his sonic universe, he unveiled Cadono Dal Pero in 2025, his first mixtape, further solidifying his artistic journey.

His steady and organic growth was recently amplified by his collaboration with rooc lee on “iCloud,” which brought renewed attention to his catalog and expanded his reach.

In June 2026, 10k watt joined the Sugar roster and announced “Partenope,” the single that serves as the first glimpse into his upcoming project.
