Formula Indie Sessions _ Interview with Anna Cuomo
TUTTO HA UN SENSO, my last published song
What is your earliest memory connected to music?
I was 6 or 7 years old, singing along the most popular children music TV show “Lo Zecchino d’oro”
How did your passion for creating music begin?
I was a teenager, listening to the music of the greatest songwriter in Italy, Francesco De Gregori. I wanted to be like him, writing lyrics like him.
What’s the story behind your current music project?
It’s a love song, like almost all my songs. It’s a letter to an impossible lover, and the music is inspired by the Cranberries.
How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?
It’s about real instruments, real musicians, and very little digital sounds. I am old-fashioned and proud of it. My voice tends to be mainly sweet and gentle, jazzy and chilled out but sometimes I like to sing out loud such as in Tutto ha un senso, which is a pop rock song.
What is one thing you’ve learned that completely changed the way you make music?
I don’t think I have never changed the way I make music…
What tools, instruments, or software are essential in your creative process?
I decide with my musicians the instruments, mainly piano, bass or double bass, drums, percussions, keyboards, brass, wind and woodwind instruments. Software are on the studio staff.

How have your personal experiences influenced your music and artistic vision?
Totally!!
What emotions or messages do you hope listeners take from your work?
Happiness, relax, laughs, dreaming, crying, and finding relief knowing that we could share the same pain.
What’s the most important lesson music has taught you so far?
Music is oxygen for me, I couldn’t leave without it. It makes me feeling alive, it can be in the air just like the oxygen; it supports me according to my mood and needs, depending on the style.
What is a dream venue or festival you would love to perform at?
Festival di Sanremo
If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would it be and why?
