He broke through in 2001 with his international hit single "Perdono" and has remained commercially successful since then, in several countries.

Known as the modern face of Italian pop music, he frequently writes songs for other artists and has produced albums for Giusy Ferreri, Alessandra Amoroso and Baby K.
Aside from his success as an artist, Ferro is well known for his personal struggles. Having been overweight as a teenager, he has been outspoken about his battles with food addiction and eating disorders. In October 2010, at the height of his fame, Ferro came out as gay, having himself struggled with depression related to self-acceptance about his homosexuality.
Ferro is currently one of the best-selling artists in Italy. Both his third album Nessuno è solo and fourth album Alla mia età were certified diamond. Despite his fears, his coming out did not negatively affect his career, as fifth album L'amore è una cosa semplice was the best-selling album of 2012 in Italy, and his first greatest hits album was supported by a stadium tour. As of 2015, Ferro has sold over 15 million records worldwide.

On 22 June 2001, he released his first single, "Xdono".During the first months after the release, the song received a poor reception, but it later became a hit and, after topping the Italian Singles Chart in September 2001,it was certified double platinum by the Federation of the Italian Music Industry for sales exceeding 100,000 copies.
The song was included in Ferro's debut album, Rosso Relativo, released on 26 October 2001.Following the commercial success obtained in Italy, in 2002 the album was released in several European countries. A Spanish-language version of the record, titled Rojo Relativo, was also released in Spain and Latin America.Rosso Relativo obtained success in different markets throughout its various editions and had sold more than 1,000,000 copies worldwide by 2004, according to EMI Music.The album also allowed Ferro to receive a nomination for Best New Artistat the Latin Grammy Awards of 2003.
