Author and composer, signs a considerable number of pieces, interpreted by her and other artists. Composition process begins playing her acoustic guitar or keyboards, often starting from spontaneous improvisations on a chords progression, a sort of brainstorming to find a lot of musical fragments and recording them on an old tape-recorder. Later, on the pre-production phase the material is organized in structures and songs.
The lyrics emerge from the personal emotional “landscapes” inspired both by introspective feelings and by meeting people, books, music, natural elements and all the things that allows a positive exchange of energies.
