'It is truly a privilege for me to be here on this very important date. - Ayane said -, I don't feel like an honored guest, but a privileged tourist, and that's a tremendous luxury. Tonight's concert will be a lively affair, just piano, bass, and drums, nothing too grand. Singularity will prevail.
During the chat, Ayane recounted the beginnings of her career, her approach to songwriting, and how it has evolved compared to other people's expectations. "Being a child prodigy has given me the opportunity to meet the greatest artists in Italian music," she said, "and I'm lucky enough to be able to call them when I'm in crisis. They taught me that selling out is a blip and that life is made up of those famous "unders," and the better you learn to breathe, that understory will then bring out beautiful things." Addressing the students directly, the artist told them: "Study hard, it will take you far, and do what you love. If you can do what you're passionate about for a living, then you'll be the luckiest people in the world."
