The Interview
In conversation with La Crotti
How did you start making music with AI?
I have always loved music, singing and writing songs. Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I discovered artificial intelligence as a way to finally give a sound to the words and emotions I had been carrying inside me. I started experimenting with AI music tools, learning how to turn my ideas into complete songs. What began as curiosity became a real creative journey. For me, AI is not a replacement for creativity. It is an opportunity to express something deeply personal and share it with other people. Every song begins with something I feel, something I have experienced or something I want to say. Technology helps me transform those emotions into music.
What does AI do in your creative process — and what stays human?
Artificial intelligence helps me turn my ideas into music, but the emotions and artistic choices remain mine. I work on my lyrics, rewriting and changing them until they express exactly what I want to say. My inspiration comes from personal experiences, memories and feelings. I use Suno to create the music, arrangements and vocals. I listen to the results and choose what best represents my vision. For me, AI is a tool that gives sound to my creativity. The technology helps produce the music, but the stories I want to tell come from me
Tell us about "Sei ancora qui". How was it made?
My featured song is “Sei ancora qui”, an emotional Italian ballad about the presence someone can leave in our lives, even when things change. I wanted to create something intimate, sincere and deeply moving, a song that could touch people’s emotions. I used Suno to bring the song to life, exploring the musical atmosphere, arrangement and vocal interpretation until I found the result I was looking for. For me, the most important thing is not just how a song is produced, but what it communicates. I want listeners to recognize their own memories and feelings in my music
“Despite everything, I am still here. And i still have a story to tell”
Which tools do you use, and how?
I use Suno to create my music. I start with an idea, an emotion or a story that I want to transform into a song. I then use Suno to explore different musical arrangements, melodies, instruments and vocal styles. I pay particular attention to the atmosphere of each song because I want the music to reflect the emotions behind it. I often experiment with different versions, listening carefully and choosing the one that best represents what I want to communicate. For me, Suno is a powerful creative tool that allows me to bring my musical ideas to life and share them with an audience.
What does it mean to be an Italian artist in the AI music scene?
Italian music has always given great importance to lyrics, melody and feelings. I want to preserve that identity while exploring what modern technology can offer. I believe AI can give independent artists new opportunities to express themselves, even without a traditional recording studio or a large production team. For me, the challenge is to use innovation without losing authenticity. I want my songs to speak to people, to make them think, remember and feel. Technology may change the way music is produced, but its ability to connect people should remain the same.
What's next for you?
I want to keep writing, creating and sharing music that tells real stories. In September 2026, I released my album “Nonostante tutto” (“Despite Everything”), a project that represents an important part of my artistic journey. I am continuing to work on new songs and musical projects, exploring different sounds while staying true to my identity. On December 15, 2026, I also plan to release my autobiographical book, “Adesso sono viva” (“Now I Am Alive”). It tells a story of pain, survival, courage and new beginnings. My dream is to reach more people through my music and my words. I don’t want to be perfect. I want to be authentic, and I want what I create to mean something to someone.
What does music mean to you, and how has it changed your life?
Music has always been part of my life. I have experienced difficult moments, but I have never stopped believing in my dreams. Writing songs allows me to transform emotions, memories and personal experiences into something meaningful. Through music, I have found a way to express feelings that are sometimes difficult to explain. When someone tells me that one of my songs has helped them feel understood or less alone, that is my greatest reward. Music is not just a passion for me. It is a way of telling the world that, despite everything, I am still here.
What message would you like to share with people who listen to your music?
I want people to understand that they should never stop believing in themselves. Life can be difficult, and sometimes we feel lost, judged or misunderstood. But our past does not have to define our future. Through my songs, I want to encourage people to accept themselves, find their strength and never give up. My song “Amati così come sei” carries this message: love yourself as you are. I believe music can bring people together, offer comfort and remind us that we all deserve respect and happiness. If even one person finds courage through my words, then my music has achieved something beautiful.
