In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
I'll always remember being 5 years old and singing the jazz standard 'Summertime' with my dad—it's the first song I can recall learning. It was such a ritual to sing it together, and it still makes me really emotional every time I sing it. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Corinne Bailey Rae, Corinne Bailey Rae
Hiatus Kaiyote, Choose Your Weapon
Kendrick Lamar, To Pimp a Butterfly
Corinne Bailey Rae, the first album and artist I identified with, to Hiatus Kaiyote, who exposed my teenage mind to different sonics, song structures, and playfulness, to Kendrick, who showed me the emotion/soul that can be expressed through music.

“Fragile”
This song is my first single so it'll always hold a special place in my heart. It's a song about the dire state of the world, but also about hope and relying on those around you, your community – and features the voices of many of those who I love. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
So far, one of my most memorable moments was playing at Cross The Tracks in 2024 – it was my first time playing at a festival an my first time playing original music to a crowd that big. It was also so special to have my parents there from Italy. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
I can't wait to play my first headline show and release a body of work – stay tuned!
