About Me
Career
Skills
In March 2020 I returned from Miami for Covid 19, where I was embarked on a transatlantic cruise line playing and singing with my partner and husband. An activity that had been going on for 10 years and where I also held the position of Head Musician.
I reinvented myself and set up my own Home Recording Studio near Milan, and began to put to use my experiences gathered in more than 25 years of career.
I discovered how easy it was to record and start over with passion and determination.
I have been working hard to create contacts and slowly I have begun to record audiobooks, I created video books, Jingles for Amazon, for individuals and I have also begun to write audiobooks and record them.
At the same time, I continue to play through live shows on the web as an AMERITALIAN DUO with American musician Greg Patton.
I met Greg, my current husband and partner, on Cat Stevens' website and a close musical collaboration began since 2005 that led to the production of our first album of unreleased songs of which we are authors of the lyrics and music "LIKE FREE BUTTERFLIES" still available on online platforms.
With him I have toured from 2005 to March 2020 in Europe, North America and Canada on land and Transatlantic Cruise lines.
I am the producer and arranger of all our music recordings; actress; singer; storyteller; creator of presentations, brochures.
STUDIO FESTI - from 2002 to 2009
I was the narrator of en plein air shows in Italy and abroad, in addition to the role of actress, singer, author of texts and producer of all the soundtracks of the shows. I played the role of Mary Poppins, dancing and singing suspended at 10 mt from earth.
I took care of the musical direction for the inauguration of the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin by Studio Festi.
