Sistiana grew up in Molise, in a very musical atmosphere, listening to classical music with her aunts, a pianist and an opera singer.
At 3 years old, in 1984, she takes part in the 27° Zecchino d'Oro (Bologna) with the song "Ninna Nanna per Non Dormire", dueting with Luca Lombardi.
At 5 she begins taking private violin lessons, firstly with Assunto Nese and then with Osipov. After a few years she attends a violin and piano course at the Academy of Music L. Perosi in the city of Campobasso.
Little by little she will leave behind the studying of violin to focus on singing.
In 1995 Sistiana starts playing the guitar, learning without a teacher and performs with several cover bands in the city of Pavia. She attends the opera and modern course of singing at the Institute "F.Vittadini" of Pavia with the opera singer Monica Bozzo. After that she goes on studying with the baritone Enrico Marabelli.
In 1998 she records her first demo with Panna & Cioccolato and the year after it's time for her first solo.
The Music Club "Spazio Musica" (Pavia) frequently has hosted the songwriter, who loves to perform live.
After she moves to Milan, Sistiana sometimes plays by the ViaAudioBooking label with bands like The New Story, Dear, Suinage, Aim, Seed 'n Feed, Dogma, Grenouille, 7Years, Nerd Follia. She joins the contest "Axe For Music" in 1998, the "Crea Musica" (CPM,Milan) in 2004 and the most recent "Music Village" by Event Sound Promotion in December 2006 (Marilleva,TN).
In 2008 she plays in New York in music clubs like The Bitter End, The 169 Bar, The Sidewalk Cafè, The Vivaldi Cafè,The Lilly Coogan's, The Baggot Inn, The Bar 4 and The Back Fence.
Sei semplicemente fantastica, Sistiana ... Ti ho scoperto con Give it up -Let you down. Io nella vita "provo" solo a fare musica, ma tu dentro devi essere proprio bella per tirare fuori dei pezzi così belli ed autentici. Stop ai complimenti, non mi piace farli e forse a te riceverli (a me no)...
Grazie per l'add su MSp!!!!! sono così gradevoli le tue canzoni...così come il tuo timbro vocale (soffice e sempre incisivo nel registro medio grave!) Nice and gorgeous!
