Adriana Vasques – piano, vocals, compositions
Born in Milan to a southern Italian family, she grew up in Trieste, a small town by the sea and by the northeastern Italian border with ex-Yugoslavia. Her cultural and geographical background has strongly influenced her in her love for mixed languages and cultures. She’s been based in London since 2010.
Her life as a professional musician has taken her through many different musical habitats and studies. She is a classically trained pianist and has been a singer mainly focused on Jazz and Brazilian songs; her tastes are naturally open to any interesting musical expression and her compositions reflect this omnivorous tendency.
Her songs come from a form-free and instinctive writing, in which the voice often breaks free from words to follow in unisons the rhythmically busy lines that recur as a sort of leitmotif in her style.
She complements her activity as a musician with a 20-year experience as a radio producer and conductor of her own radio shows. She has performed and composed also for theatre productions. Her first solo album is due to be released soon.
