About me

Palermo, Italy

"My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive, and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor and some style."
(MAYA ANGELOU)

This quote summarizes what's behind all my creations and it's reflected in my art, as a songwriter, a painter and a human.

Started my musical life as an opera singer, I ended up falling in love with circle singing and I am currently part of Bobby McFerrin's Singing Tribe.
Graduated from Berklee with an Artist Diploma Program in Performance, class 2018, I specialized in circle singing, with a curriculum that lead me through Indian, Balkan, Gospel, Greek, Microtonal, African and Brazilian music and more.

Deeply in love with World Music, I recently released two albums, that I am the author and arranger of, "Keep Dancing" with the circle singing group I founded and lead since 2017, The Lotus Sound, and {Amuri}Amari, a tribute to my motherland, Sicily, entirely in Sicilian.

Feel the Sunrise

"Feel the Sunrise" is an ode to the sun to celebrate its abundance, its beauty and generosity. The water, the plants and all beings in this planet are following the cycle of the sun. We need it every day and yet we take it for granted. In this piece two voices converse with the complicity of a drum and a tapestry of electronic tones. Together Marc Ndzana’s drums, Paola Munda and Seheno’s vocals celebrate the Sunrise, this beautiful energy that makes our planet rise with the sun no matter what.
