Nek's debut album, the self-titled Nek, was released by Fonit Cetra in Italy in 1992 after he had come in second at the Castrocaro Song Festival. In 1993 Nek released his second album In te followed by his third album Calore umano in the summer of 1994. In 1997 he took part in the Sanremo Music Festival, in the "Star" category, with the song "Laura non c'è" which reached number one on the Italian Singles Chart and went on to become his international breakthrough as it reached the Top Ten in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Belgium. Lei, gli amici e tutto il resto, his fourth album and his first for WEA/Warner Music, went on to sell two million copies worldwide and was his first album to also be recorded in a Spanish-language version.
Nek's fifth album, In due was released in June 1998 and he followed it with La vita è in 2000 and Le cose da difendere in 2002. Nek celebrated his first ten years as a recording artist with The Best of Nek: L'anno zero in October 2003. The album sold over 300,000 copies in Italy alone, and soared to the top of the charts, where it stayed for 11 weeks in the Top 10. All of Nek's studio albums since 1997 have reached the Top 10 on the Italian Albums Chart. Una parte di me, which was released in May 2005, sold over 200,000 copies in Italy and included the hit single "Lascia che io sia", one of the Top Ten best-selling singles of 2005 in Italy. Nek released his 10th album Nella stanza 26 in 2006, and in 2007 he recorded a new version of the Spanish-language version of "Lascia che io sia", titled "Para ti seria", with the Spanish band El Sueño de Morfeo, which was hugely successful on Spanish Download chart and sold more than 250,000 downloads.
Another international collaboration followed in 2008 when he recorded a duet version of "Walking Away" with Craig David, which was included on Nek's tenth studio album Un'altra direzione, which became his first number-one album on FIMI's Italian Albums Chart. In November 2010 Nek celebrated his first twenty years as an artist with the compilation album Greatest Hits 1992–2010: E da qui.
