No, those two lovely Italian faces up there are certainly not a duet; indeed, Franca and Erika have only met - and fleetingly - but once, backstage two years ago in Milan. Their tastes in music and much else are radically different, but let me tell you what they have in common, which is what turns ME on!

They both have "big" voices with luscious timbres, exquisite rhythmic reflexes and uncanny melodic instincts, all combined with commanding stage presence and deep confidence in their powers. The will to succeed is as important to me as the natural gifts an artist is born with, and all the work done to perfect and present these gifts. They're dazzlingly bright and penetratingly honest, both beautiful individuals I love to hang out with beyond our musical adventures.

These two women are world-class talents, and I'm thrilled and honored to help them share their precious inner universes with the "outside world".

You can get to know them through their CDs and their personal pages, full of lyrics, articles, photos, audio and video clips, artwork, and much more:
