100% made in Italy living and working in Berlin
Let's Dance! That's what you'll often hear if, one day, you will run into me. I don't like boredom and who know me know it very well!
Always passionate about art and in love with music. Too out of tune to sing, but good enough to write, the idea popped into my head during Lockdown. Thinking of unknown talents who have no support and are, very often, unmotivated. Thinking about how lucky I am to live in a city like Berlin, where dreams can still come true.
By sharing nightlife, trends, info on events, and telling stories of those who, by starting to play in the streets, have made music their job, I want to help to increase the Beat to all those who hear the groove inside!
“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.”

I'm a writer, I have dealt with communication in the field of music, fascinated and intrigued by the relationship that binds musicians to their audience. The charisma of an artist amplified by the charm of a stage, the love of fans for what the idol embodies. The power of music, of songs, the energy that is released and that invades the mind triggering reactions that can change our behavior and reveal much of our personality. This fascinates me and I this is what I like to write about
