Bio
Violetta Zironi started writing her first songs at the age of 16, gigging with a country/blues trio in bars and festivals around the North of Italy.
In 2016 she left Italy to live in London and Berlin, playing gigs, traveling back and forth and writing her songs on the train. During the summer of the same year she left for a long journey across Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas. A relaxing and illuminating journey, where she came across amazing musicians who she played and wrote songs with.
Being on the road, she developed what is now her own sound, deriving from different influences of folk, americana and country music, whilst embracing her European and Mediterranean roots.
Throughout this journey Violetta has collected a host of loyal friends and fans including the legendary Ben E.King, who invited her on stage with him for a duet of Stand by Me in 2014 and English/Italian songwriter Jack Savoretti who requested she join him on his vast tours of Europe.
Now aged just 22 Violetta has an impressive following of more than 75,000 Facebook followers, 40k Instagram followers & 70k monthly listeners. She will be playing SXSW in March 2018.
