I feel like at my strongest I’m able to produce something that combines humor, darkness and queer themes in a futuristic and groovy way.ģ- What are your main inspiration (genres and artists) I rather like to say that I make music or I’m a producer. I’ve always found it difficult to call myself a musician, even though I do all my own stuff. At the same time I was playing around with different DAWs but it wasn’t until I got into Propellerhead Reason that I started learning more about song structure, electronic music production and songwriting which led to the release of my first full album in 2014. She needed something more original to do so I started mashing up stuff like David Bowie, Madonna and George Michael and adding my own vocals, beats and sound effects. I was just playing really.Īfter this I started exploring drag as an art option and realized I didn’t want to lip sync to other people’s songs. I was making percussive/rhythmic tracks and my stuff was more sound as art. In about 2000 I discovered Fruity Loops which at the time was just a looper and sequencer with a few parameters for manipulating samples. This was way before everyone had a laptop or digital audio software. I was using degraded cassette tapes and old cassette players to make experimental sound pieces. I started experimenting with sound at university when I was studying Fine Arts in the early 90s. I added “Rama” as in “big event” because it rhymes but I like the campy religious or goddess connotation too.Ģ- Can you tell me more about your musical background? What do you think is your strongest point as a musician? It’s just a direct reference to my childhood idol Madonna.įound out shortly after that Ladonna means “the woman” or even “queen” in Italian so it felt like a perfect fit.

The result to my surprise was that the guitars fitted in so well that I had to jam over “stuck in the groove” and still found new ideas on every take. If I were to describe my experience in recording the tracks for her I would say “surprisingly easier that I thought” followed by “way more fun that I expected!”īeing a session guitar player, rock musician and all that, I rarely find myself playing in this type of electronic music where the guitar realm is often forgotten and there is hardly any place in the mix for distortion anymore. On various occasions I have met artists who challenged me as a musician but also as a music lover. An electronic music artist and producer that mixes the style of the pioneers of 90s electronic music, pop icons, modern psy music with an added touch of live instruments – All under a distinctive style and “brand” that tells the story of her lifestyle and of a musical scene.
