Describe your music for those who have never heard it.
My music is Pop. It has got electronic influences, but it’s mainly folk and soul in the melody and the chord progressions.
Tell us about the song “Full Moon”.
“Full Moon” talks about memories of a past relationship that always come out every full moon cycle. The appearance of our shiny satellite in the dark sky brings back to when, during the relationship time, the Moon was the mystic witness of love and rituals. Now in present time, every time the Moon comes out it still has intact the magnificence of her beauty and her inspirational power, but with a nostalgic taste, that possibly makes the contemplation even more beautiful.
What inspired you to pursue music?
I started playing music at 12 years old with my local band in Italy, but the first time I sang my songs live to a crowd of people was when I was 19. I remember it being very frightening but extremely exciting. In my life, I have only been a professional musician, nothing else.
What has been your greatest career accomplishment so far?
My previous video somehow got viral on some blog or page and got 200K views. That’s something important if you consider that people don’t spend time anymore watching indie artists’ clips.
What has been your biggest challenge?
At the moment, playing two keyboards, while dancing and singing simultaneously. That is what I am currently working on every day.
What is your music goal for the year?
I want to have a solid international fan base that will allow me to tour all over the world with my band.
