Closing a Circle
Lately, as I've already shared online and during my shows, I've found myself going back to the roots of how I live and create my music.
Since starting this project in 2018, I've been through a long journey full of travels, collaborations, and experiments that helped me understand what really feels like me and what doesn't. It's been an important period of my life, and I'm very grateful for it.
A few months ago, though, I felt the need to take a step back, almost like starting over, to put all the cards back on the table and really understand what I had built and where I was heading.
And through all of this, one thing I've realized is that change never comes from just one direction.
I started this journey at a recording studio in Turin called Password Studio, and it's thanks to Gigi Venuti that I gave myself a real chance as a musician for the first time. He gave me that little extra push that I probably needed at the time: the trust and encouragement of a professional that helped me trust myself and start taking my music seriously. He was my Audio engineer teacher. For that reason, he played a huge role in my journey, and I'll always be grateful for it.
After my first two singles, though, we went our separate ways. We had different ideas about how to approach the path ahead and what it meant to reach a result. From there, I continued on my own, travelling, working with different producers, and building a path that eventually took me far away from that studio and from those early beginnings.
Then, after all those years, something unexpected happened. A small event brought us back into contact, even though nothing really came out of it at the time.
What surprised me was that, right when this happened, I was already rethinking the way I work with my music and moving toward producing everything myself. At that point, I really only needed the final piece of the puzzle: someone I could trust with the mix and master. And naturally, he was one of the first people that came to mind.
And so, without forcing anything, our paths crossed again.
Now I have everything I need to create and release my music, and it's exactly what I had hoped for.
Looking back, I realize that all of this started because I chose to make a change in the way I approach my music and my life as an artist. And maybe the most beautiful part is this feeling of a circle closing, something that goes beyond results, numbers, or any idea of success.
More than anything, it's about a bond built on trust and support that somehow remained there all these years.
