Playing piano since I was four and studied in a musical school for ten years. Though, I always felt that playing by notes and singing in a choir is not enough to become a musician. I needed to be able to play anything I want by ear so, by starting improvising, I've found my own style of playing. When I teach children to play piano or sing, I offer them improvisation right from the beginning. I wish I was taught that way, since until my mid-30s I had hard times to relax and believe in my ability to create my own music. Twelve years ago my husband (@arty-sandler) finally convinced me to record some of my improvisations and we opened this account on SoundCloud - it happened in July, 2012.

You won't find a single particular genre on my cloud: my musical tastes are rather eclectic. Jazz and soft rock are my favorites but I also play blues, classical, folk, middle-eastern, New Age, ambient and others. Piano and vocal are my main instruments but together with my husband we also experiment a lot with different arrangements and orchestrations. 

When we started uploading our music to SoundCloud back in 2012, it was first shy attempts to record my improvisations straight from a keyboard. Many things have evolved since then. Over the years we've grown into a professional recording and composing studio, with a conservatory grand piano in an acoustically treated room and a bunch of microphones and other recording equipment. We scored a few documentaries, short films and animations. This year my orchestral and piano solo works were performed by Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra for Bryan Arias’s ballet show based on “The Little Prince” story. We've published three books with my original scores for solo piano and released twenty original full-length albums (solo piano, multi-instrumental and original songs in various genres) and numerous singles that have been streamed over 70 million times across multiple platforms.

I am glad you stepped by into my musical world and appreciate your comments and following me.

Comedians Chris Spencer, Al Madrigal and Maz Jobrani all have kids. They also have wonderful wives, friends and neighbors who sometimes drive them to the brink of insanity. If it matters, none of them own a minivan - which doesn’t mean they don’t necessarily want one. Enjoy.

Fin da piccolo mostra uno spiccato interesse per l’ “Hip-Hop” e per il “Classic House”, infatti

Dal 1999 al 2004 si esibisce in varie location siciliane che gli fecero acquistare, con il passare degli anni, la fama che tutt’ora lo contraddistingue. Tra le varie locations, possiamo ricordare: Sea Club (Terrasini – Palermo), Goa (Palermo), Movida (Carini – Palermo), Fix (Mondello – Palermo), Baia le Grotte (Balestrate – Palermo).

La grande passione per la musica lo porta, nell’anno 2005, ad interessarsi alla produzione di “records musicali”, creando delle tracce proprie che propone con successo al popolo della movida siciliana. Inizia così a sperimentare anche l’utilizzo della strumentazione dello studio di registrazione di un suo amico grazie al quale riuscì, nell’arco di un anno, a realizzare due proprie produzioni: African Feast e Friends.
