Originally a classically trained ballerina in Italy, she transitioned to a career in music following a vocal cord injury at the age of 15. She has released over 20 albums and is noted for her 2012 collaboration with film composer Ennio Morricone, titled Morricone Uncovered, for which she wrote lyrics to Moricone's film scores. [1]
