Tell us about yourself, who are you and where do you come from?

I’m Antonella, I’m 28 years old and I’m from Italy. I started writing lyrics in my journal, often late at night when inspiration struck. Putting my feelings into music felt incredibly liberating. I never imagined I would make an album, but the whole process turned out to be intense and fun. I come from a family of artists—my father is a painter and director, and there are two other important singers in my family who have inspired me along the way.

How was your passion for music born? Who are your idols?

My passion for music was born at a young age, watching Disney Channel. I knew I wanted to be a singer from then on, inspired by artists like Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Victoria Justice, Selena Gomez, Camila Cabello, Miranda Cosgrove, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Little Mix, BTS, Blackpink. All these international artists are my idols that I did grew up with their music and various genres, my passion brought me where I am now it feels crazy but i’m very happy and I’m about to improve more like I want to become better person and also in dancing.

What kind of music do you do?

I like to experiment with different genres, like k-pop, pop, thai pop, folk

What is the most important song for you? What message do you want to convey to the listener?

The main thing for me is to send positive messages. I believe many people can relate to my songs. Even if only one person listens, I would feel honored. Many people feel more comfortable with music than with others around them. I’ve often felt unappreciated when I’m out with friends, but music has always been by my side—a constant point of reference. I’ve felt excluded and lost many friends, but I don’t think I’m the only one.

Why should a listener who doesn’t know you listen to your music?

I don’t know, probably because I’m honest, I say what I think without judging myself. And I also think some people can relate to my songs.

What are your future projects? Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?

I didn’t think much about the future; I learned to live in the present. You never know what can happen—life is full of surprises and disappointments in the end. I want to stay myself, have no regrets, and surely I wish to be happy.

Tell our readers a funny episode that happened in your career as an artist.

It was funny to hear my relatives’ reactions, they were enthusiastic and especially my mom, she practically has my song as her ringtone and I feel embarrassed even hearing it at the supermarket. I see her singing it every time that makes me happy but even embarrassment I don’t know
