Formula Indie Sessions _ Interview with BIANCORVINO

What is your earliest memory connected to music?

I remember being really young—maybe five years old—when my brother played me some rock records, including Nirvana, on this huge old-school stereo system. I instantly fell in love with that sound. Another early memory is my mom taking me to a music school for the first time when I was six. She signed me up for piano lessons, hoping it would help me cope with the loss of my father.

How did your passion for creating music begin?

When I was about 11, I went to watch the rehearsal of my best friend’s brother’s band. I was fascinated by their sound, and my friend and I decided to start our own band—he played guitar and I played the bass. We quickly found a drummer and began by playing covers before moving on to writing our own songs.

I was immediately drawn to the search for “the right sound,” and since I’d always loved poetry, I started writing things down in a little notebook during high school—a notebook I still keep to this day. That’s when I realized I could combine sound exploration with the search for the right words, and that’s how I started creating music.

What’s the story behind your current music project?

Ever since I finished university, I’ve always worked in music, despite all the challenges that come with the industry. In 2020, my mother got sick and passed away. She was my anchor, my biggest supporter, and she constantly encouraged me to keep pursuing music. When she was gone, I stepped away from the music world and took on other jobs, until her words started echoing inside me again: “Try again, stay determined, and you’ll see that things will come.”

So I started writing and producing again. This project is a tribute to the woman who raised me and gave me the strength to keep going no matter what. Her name is Maria Corvino.

How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?

This is a tough question, but I’ll give it a try. My sound leans mostly toward indie rock, with touches of electronic and orchestral elements. I always try to put the message and the storytelling first, which is why I aim for productions that support the vocals without overpowering them.

What is one thing you’ve learned that completely changed the way you make music?

The most important lesson I’ve learned is to stop worrying about what the music industry thinks. I write when I feel I have something to say. For me, music is a form of healing. I try to share a message that can reach others emotionally without worrying about whether a song will reach big numbers. Even if I can get just one person to stop and think, it feels like a victory.

What tools, instruments, or software are essential in your creative process?

It depends a bit on the song, but the bass, synths created with Serum, and the acoustic guitars definitely cannot be missed.

Which indie artist or song are you loving right now?

I listen to a lot of music, so it’s hard to pick just one name right now. Lately, I’ve been listening to a lot of twenty one pilots. I really like their songwriting and the sounds they use, even though they’re more on the mainstream side

How have your personal experiences influenced your music and artistic vision?

As I mentioned before, my songs are very personal and intimate. My life experiences have definitely led me to write with more clarity and focus on the things I truly feel are worth talking about. I’ve been through a lot of dark moments, but I’ve always sought—and found—the light in them, and that perspective heavily shapes the way I write. For me, music has to be real. We live in a plastic world, where everything is built for appearances, and music shouldn’t be part of that. It should be a space where people can truly feel themselves.

What emotions or messages do you hope listeners take from your work?

Hope. Even in the darkest moments, we can find the light. It takes strength, of course, but if we find it, we can truly make a difference in our lives. Everything that happens, even the painful things, needs to be embraced and accepted. Sometimes, destruction is necessary in order to rebuild.

 What’s the most important lesson music has taught you so far?

Don’t give up. If you feel like something makes you happy, don’t let it go.

What is a dream venue or festival you would love to perform at?

I’d love to perform at the Sanremo Festival, but only because my mom loved it and we used to watch it together. For many, it might be a springboard, but for me, it would be like the end of the project, the ultimate goal.

If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would it be and why?

I would choose to collaborate with the great Italian artist, Manuel Agnelli, because I

would be able to learn a lot from him.
