Vera Di Lecce is a singer, musician and performer who blends tradition and experimentation into a personal musical language, combining hybrid electronic sounds, world percussion and synths. Originally from Puglia and now based in Rome, she began her artistic journey within the Salento tradition and collaborated with artists such as Nidi d’Arac, Cesare Basile and Alfio Antico, before launching her solo project in 2012. Following the EP Heavy Butterflies (2012) and the album 29 Seconds (2015), produced by Martyn Heyne (Efterklang), she developed an independent artistic direction that blends experimental pop, electronic music and performances with a strong ritualistic impact. Her timeless voice traverses medieval, traditional and contemporary alt-pop influences. She collaborates with choreographer Francesco Marilungo as a musician and performer in the show Stuporosa (2023), dedicated to ritual weeping, and has composed the music for his new work Cani Lunari, a journey into the feminine through the figure of the witch.
