- Tell us a little bit about where you’re from?
I am originally from Rome (Italy) and I absolutely miss it a times; the weather it’s beautiful, food is amazing and I have all my friends and family over there. The city centre is also amusing with all the monuments, shops and river sides.
- How has your location affected your music?
In a really weird way it hasn’t affected my music as much as I always looked abroad for international music; when I was a kid my dad made me listen to artist The Queen, Micheal Jackson, Marvin Gaye which all play a genre that wasn’t too popular in Italy.
- What genre would you describe your music as?
My music is definitely pop mixed together with some electro/dance beats and some soul roots.
- What are you listening too? What are your influences?
Right now I am very influenced by Ariana Grande’s new album, I am very captivated by the sound but also Beyoncé’s Lemonade.
My biggest influences when I write are Jess Glynne, Sam Smith and Coldplay.
- Where can we see you play?
I will be playing this summer Tribfest on the Acoustic Marquee stage Saturday the 20th of August.
- Are there any evocative personal experiences that come through in your music?
Absolutely yes! All of my songs are a reflection of my personal experience and what I’ve learnt from it; the personal experience is essential for an artist as it’s what is gonna make him/her write a song.
- Tell us about your live setup?
I have drums, bass, electric guitar, keyboard and two backing vocalist; we also play along to backing tracks.
- What’s next?
I’m releasing my Debut EP on the 15th of July but I am currently writing new songs and I can’t wait to get them done in the studio!
