BERENICE
"I play Spaghetti Western Pop: a bit of Italian heritage with some Morricone and Leone drama (mind you, I’m Italian born and raised but I can’t even make pasta), a bit of that old-school rock we always had around the house growing up, and a bit of spice for the cool kids who learned to play chords on a Hannah Montana songbook like me. Music for whoever wants to scream and vent and stomp in cowboy boots. The truth is, I wouldn’t have known I could start writing songs myselfand become obsessed over it when I was 9, if it wasn’t for those young artists I could relate to. But I would have never had songs to write in the first place, if I hadn’t been raised watching all the out-of-this-world super-hero rock-stars play their crazy shows, starstruck from my dad’s shoulders with a ‘Record Deal?’ sign in fluorescent colours. So, I guess, Spaghetti Western Pop is the sociological result of all of those things combined: what happens if a nine-year-old who knows every single Springsteen song by heart goes on to do music herself?" - BERENICE
