Born in Lizzano, Apulia, Cavallo spent his childhood in Turin, where his family had emigrated. At 17 years old he moved back in Apulia, where he started performing as a singer, and shortly later he moved to Rome, where he began his professional career.
In 1980 Cavallo made his record debut with the concept album Siamo meridionali, which received large critical acclaim.
