"Rather HAPPY than WHOLE..."

About Me

Ali De Siati is a searingly potent singer and songwriter. Passionate, loud and energetic, an incredibly powerful performer with great talent and personality. Originally from the deep south of Italy, she's a classically trained musician but a true rock chick at heart. She's already been an MTV presenter, a busking homeless artist and she's been playing alongside KT Tunstall, Lucie Silvas, Imogen Heap, Paolo Nutini and James Morrison in the unknown music circuits of London. One thing is for sure: the quality of her voice is quite unique. The late Noel Redding (Jimi Hendrix' The Experience) defined her as "the hottest female rock voice around". Her solo EP "Rather Whole Than Good" was released in 2004. She is now working on writing new material, gigging with her new band and recording a new EP.
