Musical experience:
I have always been into music since I was a child. I started to play piano at the age of 8, I remember myself playing for my grandparents during a very lovely Christmas night.

After I turned 13, I started taking guitar lessons at school and later with a private teacher. I also got into grunge music and sang with my first cover bands as hobby.

When I was 17, the meeting with musicians from Area 51 has happened. Me and my actual band were playing during a school party, Area 51 were there by chance: they liked my voice and they asked me to be part of a new musical project . I received a demo where I realized for the first time what metal progressive genre is. I really went through that feeling, so I found myself fallen into a totally different kind of music. That really changed my life as musician, something so unexpected.

Soon I decided to take modern singing lessons and to compose music together with two members from Area 51, so we formed Blazing Ice. That was my own place, for the first time I had been composing songs following my inner voice. We've released 1 Demo and a EP together.

The new experience definitely opened my mind towards new horizons. At 20, I decided to learn more about my voice and I started to study classical singing privately.

Later, also my interest for drums & percussions was growing, because of my constant listening to big drummers from rock-prog metal world. This was time to take drums private lessons, whenever I had 2 free hours in my day.

At the age of 23 I was asked to join a prog-metal band called Lybra. We've released 1 Demo actually.
The same year I began to study classical singing at the Perugia Music Conservatory. After various projects i
n the following months, I had my big chance to make music. An Italian producer occasionally listened to Area 51 and he contacted us. We started to talk about a new experience together, which is my current band LastUnion.

“The female fronted band intention is to create a unique place, where nostalgic dark clouds meet a concrete positive sense of freshness and hope.”
