ANKER.CONCERT#16: Marta Del Grandi

Marta Del Grandi is a singer-songwriter from Italy who studied jazz in both Milan and at KASK & Conservatory in Ghent.

Driven by a strong passion for travel and for discovering different places and cultures, she later moved first to China for a short period and then to Nepal, where she lived in Kathmandu for two and a half years. Life in such a different environment, and the deep understanding she developed there, had a profound impact on her worldview and, consequently, on the music and lyrics she wrote for her solo debut Until We Fossilize (2021). Released on the British label Fire Records, the album is an avant-pop work that blends folk-rock idioms with Lynchian atmospheres and cinematic arrangements reminiscent of Ennio Morricone’s film scores.

In 2023, she released Selva (Fire Records), which was acclaimed by both audiences and critics and earned her a place among the most prominent emerging talents on the national music scene.

Her most recent work, Dream Life, was released on January 30 via Fire Records and will be presented at the Sint-Antonius Abt Church in Meulestede.
