Måneskin guitarist Thomas Raggi has announced his debut solo album, titled *Masquerade*. The album will be released on December 5 and is produced by Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine, who previously collaborated with Måneskin on the track “GOSSIP.”
*Masquerade* features some exciting collaborations, including Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, Luke Spiller from The Struts, Alex Kapranos of Franz Ferdinand, former Guns N’ Roses drummer Matt Sorum, Nic Cester from Jet, and Sergio Pizzorno of Kasabian.

You have to follow your instinct and inspiration, ignore imposed rules, and simply do what you feel.” He feels supported by the legends of music, saying they are encouraging him on his journey.
Raggi’s bandmates, Damiano David and Victoria De Angelis, have also released solo projects. Måneskin’s latest album, *RUSH!*, came out in 2023.
