In the '90s, she became one of the most appreciated dance voices in Italy and abroad, recording dozens of records, including hits like "Zombie" (A.D.A.M.), "Talk to Me" (D.E.A.R.), and "Inside to Outside" (Lady Violet). She also works as a producer, arranger, composer, and vocal coach for many emerging artists. Her latest solo project is the album "Ci Sarà da Correre," which she composed with her father.
