to sing several times at Italian Consulate. Her unique interpretation on the Italian anthem has gained the praises of the press both in Italy and in the US.
Her self-titled debut album was released to critical acclaim, and she is currently in pre-production on a sophomore album to be released next year. Erene is in the rotation of Italy’s national radio, and the artist has been featured at festivals throughout Europe. In addition, her live performances have generated a spectacular impact at NYC venues such as The Living Room [2], Bitter End, Rockwood Music Hall [3], The Knitting Factory [4], Spike Hill, and LIC Bar.
She’s developed a loyal following both online and live; her proponents include hit-maker Brad Roberts [5] (Crash Test Dummies), with whom she has co-written, and four time Grammy-nominated songwriter/producer Larry Dvoskin (David Bowie, Brandy, Ricky Martin, Van Halen).
