Lara Martelli

Delivered in Rome for an Italian dad and a Finnish mom, Lara Martelli was raised immersed in the arts, learning both dance and tone of voice young as well as receiving her initial recording agreement before she turned 16. In 1997 she participated in the Sanremo Celebration in the lately created “Rock and roll” section, acquiring first place in the rising musician category with her tune “Lara I” and spent another few years accumulating her live existence in the Italian underground picture. In 2001 she released the one “Non È,” which do well in her indigenous country, which same season Martelli visited Atlanta to record her debut full-length, Orchidea Porpora, in the famed Southern Monitor Studios. In 2006 the vocalist — whose design more carefully resembled those of British and American music artists than Italian — arranged to focus on documenting Cerridwen, an recording sung in British and released in nov the following 12 months.
