These influences, together with a fusion of modern dance music, are presented in her debut single ‘Breathe Again’. With proud appearances on TV, theatre stages, clubs and festivals, Vina Rose aims to take her music across Europe and America in the near future. We are excited to have Vina Rose share her story with us…
Tell us about yourself and how you got into music
I grew up in a family of musicians and that gave me the opportunity to perform ever since I was only a child (first time on stage I was 4), participating in various singing and dancing contests of my local scene. From Sicily I eventually moved to Milan where I studied performing arts and earned my 5 years degree in Communications, and so I began my eclectic career between tv shows, theatres, live performances and radios.
Your debut single ‘Breathe Again’ is very passionate and emotive, what are the ideas and inspiration behind this song?
Breathe Again depicts those scenarios whereby you find yourself emotionally trapped, and therefore you desperately need to make a drastic change and move onto better days, but sometimes you keep procrastinating cause simply having fear of changes, until such day that you have had enough and you're ready to free yourself. The song is inspired by a personal relationship of course (Love is always the reason, LOL).
You were born and raised in Italy with an interesting array of experiences, can you tell us a little about the music industry there?
Italy is a great place full of very talented and creative people, what I personally have found a bit discouraging is the fact that unfortunately it's extremely hard for people like me to try to build a career as independent artists, cause the platforms that actually give you the chance to develop and expose your music are extremely limited, and mainly focused on mainstream or tv/talent shows, which I believe those are a bit detrimental for artists.
What is your advice to aspiring singers?
To spend time in developing and improving the writing skills and therefore working hard on the craft, and don't be afraid to make mistakes on the way - mistakes are actually beneficial to find your artistry on the core. Please remember, you are an original, don't try to copy or compare yourself to anyone at any stage of the career. And most
