Biography
I am a singer-songwriter and painter as well. a restless mind and heart .. so I need to create music and art to survive
My singing style has often been described as very personal ...
My music is as unusual blend of pop-rock and the lyrics are autobiographic most of the time
I am currently undertaking a new solo project where I'll be the author of music and lyrics.
The EP titled “be proud”, features four songs that represent a manifesto of self-recognition:
…..“be proud” and “thin hair” are very similar in their motivation… "Very often I have experienced a feeling of inadequacy and frailty whereas I knew that I needed strength and determination to go on…. It is as if I am encouraging myself to be strong..and to be myself no matter what.."
“when you will come” is a meditation about death… and this is very important to me.. I believe that we should always carry with us the awareness of our temporary staying here on earth… I think this awareness can help us make more serious choices about our life and our destiny…
In “darkness” I simply try to explain to those who love me that I cannot be moulded into one definite form… no one really can … each person is an infinite being, a constantly changing infinite being…". "darkness" remained in the top-ten pop-rock charts at Broadjam.com for several weeks and has recently been selected for the Noteborn Music
Catalog.
I have been singing live in the Turin area and I participated to various musical events in northern Italy, among which the Chierium Rock Festival in July 2005.
Winner ( for Italy) at the 2006 Music Aid International Awards in the categories "Best Female Solo Artist" and "Best Songwriter".
Selected for the audition of Cornetto Free Music Festival
