90% self-taught drummer with many tutors in person and online over the years. I started singing 10 years ago and composing lyrics recorded on Soundreef / Distrokid in the last 5 years making the musical bases with the A.I. In 2024 the first compilation "Labirynt of Life" of 7 songs and 2026 the Compilation "Countdown" of 12 songs in Italian and English was released. I have always played with many covers and tribute bands just for passion without ever seeking the climb to success or making it a real job. So in essence I never lived on it or made any significant income. At the age of 60 I never stop singing and playing, occupying 90% of my free time ... in any context, whether they are rehearsal rooms or improvised jam sessions in clubs. I would like to find musicians to make my songs live in live evenings. English I am a drummer who is 90% self-taught, having worked with various in-person and online tutors over the years. I began singing 10 years ago and, for the past 5 years, have been writing lyrics—registered via Soundreef/Distrokid—while using AI to create the backing tracks. In 2024, I released my first compilation, "Labyrinth of Life," featuring 7 tracks, and in 2026, I will release "Countdown" ("Countdown"), a collection of 12 songs in both Italian and English. I have always played in various cover and tribute bands purely out of passion, never seeking fame or attempting to turn music into a full-time career. In short, I have never made a living from it, nor have I earned any significant income. Now approaching 60, I still spend 90% of my free time singing and playing—whether in rehearsal studios or during impromptu jam sessions at local venues. I am looking to connect with musicians to perform my original material in live settings.
I founded the RESPECT SoulBand which represent the most recent project of my career which began in 1988 after studying modern singing, piano and composition at the CIM in Verona. I started by writing songs inspired by the big names of Italian songwriting but with a markedly Blues matrix, a recurring and recognizable element from the veiled melancholy often perceptible in my lyrics and in the color of my voice. In my career I have held various roles in the show business sector including record producer (Exentia Records) and artistic director of clubs and events such as Erbezzo Sound (2015-17) and Verona Funky (2016-18). In 2021 I published a blog on the funkymove.it network in which I deal with insights and new trends in the world of R'n'B, Soul, Jazz and Songwriting Music. I am a teacher of Modern Singing at the Onemusic Academy in Lugagnano VR and I carry out an intense activity as an arranger, music producer, mixing and Mastering with Pro Tools.
I'm Chiara Macheda, singer-songwriter and vocal coach from Rome. I started making music when I was 5 years old taking cello lessons. Over the years I have obtained the ABRSM exams of the Royal Schools of Music in London in singing, choir, cello and solfeggio. For almost a year I have also been interested in the aspects of teaching by starting to attend a course in singing teaching that I will conclude in a few months. Over the years, starting from a classical repertoire, I have also had the opportunity to work in the Jazz and Pop fields, getting very close to R&B sounds. In the last period I have been attending a recording studio that has allowed me to follow and work with different artists as a vocal coach and as an author. I also write for myself, I am in fact developing my artistic project that blends everything that has been my musical path to date.
