Description

Hi! We're Carmen and Matteo, a couple living in Bologna, Italy.

Carmen is a professional singer originally from Puglia. She studied jazz vocals at the conservatory and has been living in Bologna for 9 years. She sings italian folk and Balkan music, does vocal improvisation, writes songs, and plays the accordion and framedrum. She performs and teaches singing for a living.

Matteo is from Carpi and has been in Bologna for about 4 years. He’s a videomaker and a musician too—he sings, plays guitar, piano, drums, and has worked as a music producer for many years.

We're both pretty introverted and reflective, but we also love to play, joke around, and be silly—sometimes in a very theatrical way! It’s common to hear us singing weird melodies, doing funny voices or made-up characters. If we meet people who vibe with that kind of energy, we have a blast.

We both feel a strong connection to spirituality—Carmen through music and voice, Matteo through meditation.

Lately, we’ve been feeling very tired of city life. We’re craving time in nature, doing practical, hands-on work, and being around animals. Their presence makes us genuinely happy.
