Music

My music and my latest album reflect the diverse sounds and influences from the many countries and cultures I’ve experienced.
My last solo album involves different types of music styles and influences, starting from Italy, the nation where I was born and which was the first to have influenced me musically and humanly, up to my experience in Senegal (Dakar), Spain, Belgium (Bruxelles) and my last 3 years living in the States. This work is aimed to focus on the importance and the link between the nature and the ambivalence of Western society towards environmentalism. The tracks highlight the challenges and contradictions inherent in how humans interact with the natural world and the urgency to preserve the environment.
By using diverse influences and incorporating elements from various traditions, my compositions demonstrate the profound impact music can have in promoting understanding and unity among people.
