JAMES STRECKER: Please tell us what you want the public to know about your recent completed project or the one you are actively working on. What is it, why is it, and how was/is it done?
GIULIA MILLANTA: My 6th record was released in June of 2018 and I’m still touring behind it…but of course, artists can never stay still for too long. I am always writing songs!
I am working on a new record to be released sometime in 2020 and decided to release 4 singles in 2019. I just released #3, “Quiet Fight”.
“In a dream” came out in May, then “Woke up dreaming”, “Quiet Fight” at the end of August and “Not a love song” on October 4th.
JS: What kind of audience will this project interest? What new audience are you also seeking? Why to both questions?
GM: My music usually interests a well-educated, worldly, open minded audience. That is because my music is not mainstream and you really need to put attention to the lyrics and the nuances in order to really get it. Also, because I sing in different languages. You need to be somewhat of a curious person to fall in love with it.
I am seeking the same audience … I would like to reach more of a younger crowd, because I would like to connect with that demographic but I honestly think it’s a hard task, since they are mostly into rap.
JS: In what ways was/is this project easy to do and in what ways was/is it difficult to realize? How long did it take and why that long?
GM: Recording is always easy and fun for me…I always look forward to being in the studio and getting immersed in the creative process…. what is hard is getting payed by Spotify! LOL
JS: How are you planning to promote, market, and sell this project to the public?
GM: I reach my people through my social pages and email list. Concerts and tours are always the best way to connect.
I am about to tour in Europe and then back in US in the North East (dates on my website)
JS: Please give us a brief autobiography, some stuff about yourself, that is relevant to this project.
GM: I dream a lot and that part of my life informs my songs. I enjoy exploring topics like relationships (never ending source of material!!), travels, cultural differences…
JS: What’s next in your creative life?
GM: As I said, to release a record in 2020 and maybe a booklet too. Stay tune
