I sing because ever since I was a child,
I have felt interest in many things,
including literature, music and creation.
Singing allows me to make a connection between them all.
Singing is a way of expressing this creativity,
using a means as powerful as singing,
as the human voice,
 a way of communicating on a different level,
other than language.
It is much more intense.
When you sing,
the language of music combines with the language of literature,
but there is also body language.
Many different ways of communicating come together.
It allows me to expand my repertoire of classical music
to include modern and contemporary music too.
It broadens my expressive palette
and opens up my sound exploration to somewhere not only immense
but also completely uninhibited.
And that responds to a need for freedom
very deeply rooted in me.
I first started singing contemporary masterpieces
such as Improvisations by Boulez,
Still and again by Kyburz,
Bouchara by Vivier,
first with Emilio Pomarico and Klangforum,
then with the Intercontemporain.
Then some composers started writing for me,
and that is truly fantastic,
it is a one-of-a-kind experience.
Being able to enjoy a piece from the very moment it is imagined,
up to the performance, is fabulous.
Everything you suggest feeds the composer's musical imagination.
Moreover, when a piece was composed especially for us,
we, as performers, have a duty to grasp
what it is that the composer is searching for,
to consider his music, how we read it,
how we hear it,
to consider how the whole project is developed step by step.
It is a very different feeling to know
that the piece was tailor-made for a particular voice,
for the colours in it,
for the singer's personality.
It is a common process,
from the very beginning to the moment the performance takes place.
I am passionate about literature and I have been since I was little.
However, I didn't choose to work in the literary field because to me,
singing is much more powerful, music is a much more powerful emotion.
Being a singer allows me to not leave literature aside,
but to instead have it with me all the time. 
In this way, more than in any other,
links can be created between literary and musical questions,
to highlight topics that are timeless,
themes that, more often than not, have a universal impact.
You can criticise in music, too. You can say many things.
And express them in a strong emotional manner.
You can also touch on philosophical dimensions
that speak to everyone.
