Padruna is the daughter of an opera singer & classical choir director (this is mom) and a language professor, poet and author (this is dad.) You can guess that she grew up loving the performing arts!

Born and educated in Boston, Massachusetts, Padruna spent her intermediate years growing up in Lucca, Italy. She holds degrees in Fine Arts, Biology, Psychology and International Law. Like spokes on a wheel, both her education and world experience inform her singing at every level. Traversing the adult contemporary music to re-imagined classical rock, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

"While I am still not certain where I am from or what I do, I am certain that...

Life without Art and Music is unimaginable."


I'm a composer who enjoys composing for theater, film, and dance. I'm also a conductor. Songwriting is another genre I really enjoy, I'm currently in a band called The Humble Boys with my good friend Juan Cosme. I hope you enjoy all the music on my page.
