Dardust is the Italian composer and pianist Dario Faini.
Dardust defies musical categorization: his music ranges from serene neoclassical to exuberant dance. In his home country, he has been a superstar for years, and now Dardust is starting to break through internationally – it’s no coincidence that in 2022 he signed with the prestigious Sony Masterworks label.

Dardust is closely linked to the Eurovision Song Contest: in 2019, he wrote the Italian entry Soldi, in 2022 he performed the interval act alongside Benny Benassi and Sophie and the Giants, and in 2024 he composed both the Luxembourgish and Italian entries!
