- My cultural roots have played a crucial role on my comprehensive perspective, not just artistic-wise. Since we’re talking about the influence of roots on music here, I’d like to mention Sicilian melodies that are hauntingly beautiful and its folk music delivering raw emotions stemming from everyday experiences. My inclination for it is quite obvious as it is innate. Religious music in the form of hymns, chants and a capellas have built the foundation of my music sense as a child. Heritage will be apparent in my English-language recordings that are scheduled for future release.
- Le mie radici culturali hanno giocato un ruolo cruciale nella mia visione complessiva, non solo artisticamente. Poiché stiamo parlando dell'influenza delle radici sulla musica, mi piace citare le melodie siciliane che sono incredibilmente belle e la loro musica folk che trasmette emozioni grezze derivanti dalle esperienze quotidiane. La mia inclinazione per questa musica è ovvia, essendo qualcosa di innato. La musica religiosa, sotto forma di inni, canti e a cappella, ha costruito le fondamenta del mio senso musicale da bambina. Il mio patrimonio culturale sarà evidente nelle mie registrazioni in inglese che usciranno in futuro.
