WHO AM I?

My name is Laura Guidi, I was born in the south of Italy 35 years ago and I live in Berlin. I am a musician and I am about to give birth to my first album. Over the past 7 years, I have been playing stages in every corner of the city I love. The songs I have collected over the years reflect that musical journey. Being able to record my first album properly is a longstanding mission. I need your help and investment to do it right.

I have been singing and writing songs for as long as I can remember. It has always been a pretty natural thing to me. I love to strum the guitar, I love honesty and I love passion. As you can see I love repetitions. And, probably, that's why I write songs. I love music and I am proud of my music. And I would love to be able to present it to you. But I'm going to need your support in order to make it happen.

THE PROJECT.

I have spent the last few months putting together my first record. I am now very excited to present twelve songs that aim to capture the nature of my imagination, inspired by the rough streets of Berlin and my passion for rock and roll resistance.

The songs are all written and composed by myself. What are they about? About Berlin, about Tinder, about revolution. About changing things when one is tipsy. About hard times, about trying to have a good time, about us, about society. About Bowie, about outdoor symphonies, about being human and afraid. About wasting time and about Hope – my best friend.

It all started as a singer-songwriter project. We went into the recording studio in February and started to work on the album. We? Well, "we" is me and the awesome musicians I am fortunate enough to have been able to assemble to work with me on this record. They are: Matteo Tambussi on swirling guitars, Hal Strewe on thumping bass and Paolo Baltaro on beasty drums. What is now coming out is overwhelming me – my music is taking a new, very interesting and energetic direction.

The actual album recordings are top top secret until March or April – when the LP will be released. If you wanna have a little teaser of what it could be, here is a live recording of Tinderella, one of the songs on the upcoming Record.
