” Singing for me is a doorway to alivenes. Is where joy, vulnerability and freedom meet. “
I was born in the vibrant city in south of Italy, Napoli, since centuries an inspiring place for artists of various disciplines. With its mix of colors, contradictions and astonishing beauty, this city possesses a world class musical tradition, and all this has inevitably influenced me.
Music has always been my passion, therefore after completing my college degree in Cultural Anthropology in Rome, I began with my musical pathway. My formal musical education started in the year 2004 with jazz singing classes.
In 2011 I received a full scholarship to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston, USA. In this environment I meet teachers and musicians who were fundamental for my musical and personal development. In Berklee I affined my skills in jazz singing, music theory, composition, improvisation and deepened my knowledge in Latin Jazz, particularly in Bossa Nova.
Voice is my main instrument, only when i sing i can be totally free. I’m a multi instrumentalist, I play piano, classic guitar and various types of percussions, particularly Tammorra (frame drum from south Italy used to play tarantella) and Pandeiro from Brasil.
About My Essence
I’m Aries, raising Leo, with moon in Sagittarius, the fire in me guide my life with passion, resilience and courage.
In the Mayan cosmology, my Nahual is Kame, the energy of death and transformation.
Kame reminds us that life is a sacred cycle: we are born, we live, and one day we return to our origin.
Rather than something to fear, this energy invites me to live fully-awake, present, and deeply connected to the essence of life. It is the bridge between worlds, the silent communicator between the visible and the invisible, holding the wisdom of both light and shadow.
Through this connection, I am guided to honor life in its entirety-to celebrate aliveness, to embrace transformation, and to give voice to what is often unspoken.
I sing to summon this passion for life with every breath.
My Spiritual Journey
My path with music and voice has been a journey of self-discovery across the world-an exploration not only of sound, but of the soul.
In 2015, while living in Ibiza, something profound shifted within me. Through my encounter with Thomas Keller-whom I consider a spiritual father— was introduced to medicine music and singing circles. This experience opened a new dimension of singing for me, one rooted not in performance, but in presence, connection, and truth.
From that moment, my path changed completely.
Today, I sing with an open heart, in oneness with the Creator. My voice is no longer just an instrument to perform-it is a channel to connect, to heal, and to celebrate life itself.
What I Share
Through my work as a vocal coach, I transmit more than technique. I guide people back to their authentic voice-the one that carries their emotions, their truth, and their unique vibration.
Singing, for me, is a doorway to aliveness.
It is where joy, vulnerability and freedom meet.
The songs in my album ” Presencia” – released on February 2025- are written in spanish & portuguese, because this are the languages with whom I’ve learned spirituality, they are the result of the teachings I’ve received in the last years living between Ibiza, Salvador de Bahia, the Amazons, Guatemala and Berlin.
Is the name of my musical project, born in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala in 2024 together with Benjamin Alejandro Castañeda Castro (Zanate), musician & producer.
Naiwa is a name that come from the African language Bantu, it means ‘born in troubled times’. It symbolizes resilience and strength in facing challenges.
Naiwa it’s used also to describe the blessing that comes after the rain.
The making of Presencia took us 1 year and half, it was a long process from darkness to light, the album was entirely produced in our home studio in Berlin.
“Winter was cold, no light outside, we had to look inside to found the inner sun! ”
‘Presencia’ is a fusion of downtempo, folktronica, and medicina music. The album carries an uplifting energy, designed to inspire movement and connection, making it perfect for ecstatic dance and sing-alongs with its catchy melodies.
1. Presencia – The title track embodies its core message: being present in the here and now, breathing, and trusting in presence.
As I say in the chorus: ‘Todo ya está aquí, todo ya está en ti’ (‘Everything is already here, everything is already within you’).
2. Agua – The oldest song on the album, written in Berlin, inspired by a heartbreak and the fluid power of water. Love is like water-penetrating the earth and leaving it forever nourished, as expressed in Portuguese: ‘O amor e’ como a agua, Penetra a terra, deixando-a molhada para sempre‘
