What kind of adolescence did you have?
«I would define it as “Leopardian”. I was shy, insecure, withdrawn, and for this reason I couldn't have friends. I always kept to myself, but not in a good way cool at Vasco Rossi. On the other hand, I read a lot, I played the piano and the guitar, I listened to a lot of Music.”
Who was listening?
«The Backstreet Boys, even though my mother wasn't in favor of it. After all, he raised me singing songs by Battisti, De Gregori, Guccini… They were the soundtrack to every Sunday morning.”
What memories do you have of the loves of that period?
«They were absolutely unrequited, also because I didn't come forward. The situation has improved at university: do you know the classic film where there is an ugly girl and her friends turn her into a super pussy? Well, maybe not super hot, but cute yes, I have become. I abandoned sweatshirts, in which I hid a body that I didn't accept naturally, in favor of low-waisted jeans and t-shirts. I embraced my femininity and sexuality. Music also contributed.”
Explain.
«During high school I stayed away from it a bit, I stopped singing because my voice had changed. Then, the summer after graduating from high school, the one in which I bought an orange Vecchia with the money I earned as a backing singer and working in a pub, my friend Pierpaolo, known as Pedro, introduced me to a blues group, which I joined. I was so happy. I was coming into focus on my place in the world. And perhaps, without music, I wouldn't have found it, it gave me the courage to exist.”
Have you ever been in a toxic relationship?
«I'm afraid it happens to everyone. I asked a therapist for help, I wouldn't have gotten out of it on my own. Today there is a lot of talk about these sick relationships on TV, in films, but not enough on social media, which is the easiest way to reach younger people, it is a topic that the algorithm does not reward.”
A toxic relationship can be established with the same music. She said: «In the recording industry there are so many people who tell you how you should be, that if you don't know yourself thoroughly and you're not comfortable in your own skin, you lose yourself a little».
«This is one side of the coin. The other side is the great desire not to waste the moment. It's like being on a very fast carousel, with the fear of not honoring the opportunity you've been given if you ever stop the ride. It happened to me. During Sanremo 2012 I had derealization.”
