honeybird & the birdies are:
honeybird charango, guitar, berimbau & vocals
was born and raised in Los Angeles. She heard music from an early age as her Italian father strummed and sang Mediterranean melodies and her New Yorker mother kvetched in yiddish. Her passion for creating music began at the age of 3 sitting on an upright piano then embracing the upright bass, until one day the guitar took center stage and she began writing honeybird songs. In 2003 she visited Bolivia which had a powerful impact on her life – both as a cultural and social eye-opener – and that is where she found her first charango, a 10-string traditional Andean instrument, which inspired new honeybird songs such as “shrinking mind”. Her travels in Latin America and contact with social issues, capoeira and indigenous communities are very present in what she does.
honeybird writes sings and dreams about pachamama, justice and the colorful cultures of our world - from mapuche to raramuri, japanese to quechua, italian to iraqi, brazilian to nahuatl. her music sings praise for those who have courage and aren't afraid of standing up and speaking what they believe and feel.
was born and raised in Sicily, and moved to Rome in 2006 to study singing. Her first contact with music was with the flute, she was called the "magic pied piper" for how well she played and for her enchanging rhythyms. In her hometown of Catania, she was drummer in an all girls band called "le zero in condotta". She is currently in music conservatory and enjoys great delight in singing and playing a wide array of percussion instruments, snare, flute, kalimba and much more in the world of honeybird.
