In the mid-1990s, he toured with Francesco De Gregori. The experience prompted Britti to switch to a more soft rock-oriented sound. He had his first hit in 1998 when "Solo una volta (o tutta la vita)" made it to the top of the Italian charts. In 1999 he won in the newcomers category at the Sanremo Festival with the song "Oggi sono io".{{Cite web|url=https://www.alexbritti.com/|title=Alex Britti | Official Website|first=Vibes Art|last=Studio|website=Alexbritti.com|accessdate=5 November 2020}}
