My musical journey has been defined by a focus on vocal excellence and academic training. A standout moment was being selected as a backing vocalist for the 'Grace for the World' international concert at St. Peter’s Square (Vatican City), where I had the opportunity to share the stage with world-renowned artists such as John Legend, Pharrell Williams,, Jennifer Hudson and Andrea Bocelli.
I have also had the pleasure of performing both as a soloist and ensemble singer in some of Rome’s most iconic cultural venues, including the Auditorium Parco della Musica and the Auditorium della Conciliazione. In the private events sector, I have been invited to perform for selected weddings and celebrations in unique locations such as Palazzo Vilón and various historic villas around Rome. These specific experiences have allowed me to bring a professional and sophisticated musical touch to every event I curate.

I particularly enjoy performing at intimate and elegant events, such as boutique wedding ceremonies, sophisticated cocktail hours and private dinners. I love to create a tailored musical atmosphere where my Soul, R&B and Contemporary Pop repertoire can truly resonate. Whether it’s an exclusive celebration in a historic Roman villa or a refined gathering in a boutique hotel, I thrive in settings where quality of sound and a sophisticated vibe are the top priorities.

My journey into professional gigging began in Rome with an acoustic duo dedicated to The Beatles. Performing their timeless repertoire in local venues allowed me to develop my stage presence and a deep connection with classic songwriting. This passion led me to pursue professional academic studies. For the past 10 years, I have been a soloist and an ensemble of a contemporary a cappella pop choir. This collaboration has taken me to prestigious stages such as the Auditorium Parco della Musica and the Auditorium della Conciliazione, as well as the Napoli Teatro Festival. A highlight of this journey was performing on national television for the popular show 'Viva Rai 2' hosted by Fiorello. I have also co-founded a female vocal trio, contributing to the vocal arrangements for our sets at private events and Roman clubs. Today, I perform regularly in an acoustic Soul/R&B and pop duo, providing a sophisticated musical service for weddings and high-end events.

My musical identity is a blend of the great legends of Soul and the timeless energy of British and American Rock and Folk. I grew up listening to the Beatles and Fleetwood Mac, whose songwriting and vocal harmonies remain a cornerstone of my approach to music. My vocal style has been deeply shaped by the 'Queens of Soul,' Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston and Chaka Khan, as well as the raw emotional power of Otis Redding. I am equally inspired by contemporary artists , such as Harry Styles, Ariana Grande and Pink. My love for organic storytelling-driven music also leads me to the sounds of Alabama Shakes, Mumford & Sons and the atmospheric textures of Bon Iver. Greatest Song of All Time? It is almost impossible to choose just one! I really love I can't make you love me by Bonnie Raitt.

I require approximately 60 minutes for load-in, equipment setup and soundcheck. I prefer to be ready before the guests arrive at the performance area.
My typical performance consists of 2 x 45-minute sets or 3 x 30-minute sets, with a short break in between.
I provide a curated Spotify Premium playlist to be played through my PA system during any breaks, ensuring a continuous musical atmosphere.

I am happy to play outside but I ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.

Clients are welcome to select their favorite songs from my repertoire list to ensure the vibe matches their vision. Additionally, for special moments like a wedding ceremony or a first dance, I am happy to learn and arrange up to 2 specific song requests that are not currently in my list.

Clients often tell me that my voice was the perfect fit for their wedding or event, helping to create a relaxed and special atmosphere. International guests often comment on my natural English pronunciation, and many clients have said that having my live music made their day feel more personal and complete.

Yes, I specialize in providing a sophisticated soundtrack for wedding ceremonies. I am happy to learn and arrange up to 2 special song requests (e.g., for the processional or the first dance) to ensure your most important moments are exactly as you imagined.

Yes, I frequently perform in the historic center. However, due to the professional weight of my PA system (Alto TS415), for venues in restricted or pedestrian-only zones, the client or venue must provide a vehicle access permit and load-in assistance (porterage) from the vehicle to the stage. This ensures a timely setup and the highest sound quality for your event.
