About me: I was born and raised in Milan, Italy by one parent really (the other left a little too early). I left there when I was 20 and went to London "for a year, to learn English" (and follow my best friend who'd gone there). English has always been a big thing for me mainly because of the music I was struggling to understand and because I HAD to speak English. The year turned to four years that I spent in the English capital where I left a piece of my heart, I just loved it there (and still do!). There I met so many fantastic people amongst whom one of my best friends Elena (whom I don't see much anymore *cries*). Following my heart I then decided to move to Paris, mistake?? Mmmm, hard to say, if I hadn't move I would not be who I am today so...Anyway, life in Paris only lasted a year (very many good memories, very many bad ones too, ouch) when I decided Paris wasn't going to be HOME for me so I moved to the South of France which is where I've been for the last 5 years nearly!
I sell homes in Italy to the Italian and international market and it's quite fun, not sure whether I want to do this forever but so far it's OK! I do not make a big deal out of my job, it isn't what I'd dream about as a child ( wanted to be an actress *laughs*) but it's fun, pays me in the pocket and in my head so I'm happy! Music is one of the biggest things in my life, music has helped make me become the way I am (or have always been) and I would not give it up for anything in the world!
One man I hold very close to my heart used to sing WORDS AND MUSIC, MY ONLY TOOLS, COMMUNICATION! That is Andrew Wood, RIP!
Oh and then there's another guy who sings and that I ADORE and he goes: I know I was born and I know that I'll die, the in between is mine, I AM MINE! That says a lot about me!
