X Factor
In 2010, during his last year at high school, Pasquarelli auditioned for the fourth series of the Italian talent show X Factor.
During the seventh live show, Pasquarelli finished in the bottom two for the first time, together with Cassandra Raffaele, but only Raffaele"s judge, Elio, voted to eliminate Pasquarelli, and he was therefore saved. He finished once again in the bottom two during the tenth live show.
Pasquarelli was not allowed to perform during the final showdown, since he was 17 years old, and Italian laws don"t allow performances of people under the age of majority after midnight.
A pre-recorded performance was broadcast instead. The judges vote resulted in a deadlock, and the public vote saved Nevruz, and Pasquarelli finished the competition in sixth place.
As a result, he was chosen by Mara Maionchi as a member of the "Boys" category.
