Artie 5ive

Artie 5ive, stage name of Ivan Arturo Barioli, is an Italian-Sierraleonese rapper born in 2000, originally from Milan.

Born to a Sierra Leonean mother and an Italian father, his parents met in Sierra Leone, where his father worked for an NGO at the time.
About the origin of his stage name, the rapper said:

“Artie” comes from Arturo, my middle name, which was my grandfather's name, by inheritance. “5ive” is for the five main streets of a part of my neighborhood (Bicocca, Milan): viale Sarca, viale Fluvius Testi, viale Suzzani, via Ponale and via Bignami.
