Hi everyone,
I am an artist/songwriter who has been in love with classical music forever. That said, however, I do use many different influences in creating the music that I write and perform.
I have been involved with music for most of my life and had the privilege of studying music at both The Royal Northern College of Music and latterly the London School of Musical Theatre. Following this period of study, I performed both in London's West End and at The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
I then took a short break and walked away from music to "find myself". I spent some time modeling, working with many international publications and lingerie brands including La Perla, Maxim and Playboy, at this point I had no intention of returning to my music.
After two years away from music I saw a production of La Boheme at the Royal Albert Hall. When I saw the amazing array of talent on stage and a production that moved me to tears, I realised that music was exactly where I belonged. It became clear that on my new journey the only thing I had found was that I had lost myself completely. So I turned back to my music and I found that the one thing that had always been there, that I had merely taken for granted for so long, was in fact still there. It welcomed me back with open arms and I felt I had come home. I think a lot of my music will tell you about the journey I took and I hope that it may just reach out and touch someone's soul.currently recording new material with Rami Jaffee and Ran Pink at Fonogenic Los AngelesProfile songs"Lost" music John Haywood and music/lyrics Francesca Isabella Santamaria "I cant breathe" music Rami Jaffe and Ran Pink,lyrics Francesca Isabella Santamaria "if Only" music John Haywood and lyrics Francesca Isabella Santamariawatch this space
