From the greek language, Tekla means “holy light”. Tekla discovered music when she was twelve, her hand was hold tight by her brother, which already knew, somehow, that there was something special in her eyes. Francesca started listening to different kinds of music, from Amy Winehouse to Nina Simone, Billy Holiday, and a bunch of historical Italian singer-songwriters. During this time of her life, she was gathering pieces of information, music, words, sensations. When something bad happened in her life she exploded, expressing her pain through lyrics. Once her adventure at The Voice Of Italy ended she started walking on her own legs, never stopping since 2015. Tekla then signed a deal with Fonoprint, an Italian record label.
