As the warm embrace of summer starts to give way to the cool, crisp days of autumn, there’s something incredibly comforting about the transition. It’s a time when we can breathe a little deeper, slow down, and savour the beauty of nature’s transformation. And what better way to accompany this seasonal shift than with the soothing melodies of “September,” a classical crossover guitar piece composed by Donatello?

Choosing dance and guitar over holidays and football ⚡🎸

Hi friends,

I hope you’re all doing great!

I want to share something a little different about my perspective on leisure activities. You know how some people are all about going on holidays and getting their dose of excitement from watching football matches. Well, I’m here to confess that I find both of those things as boring as watching paint dry. Instead, I’d take dancing and strumming my guitar any day! ⚡🎸

Holidays have always left me feeling a bit detached. The idea of meticulously planning every detail, packing and unpacking, and then rushing through a checklist of tourist spots just doesn’t resonate with me. It’s like going through the motions without truly connecting to the essence of the place. In the same way, some folks might zone out during a football match, and I often find myself daydreaming during holidays.

And speaking of football matches, I know they’re a huge deal for many, but personally, they just don’t light up my world. The anticipation, the cheering, the suspense – it all builds up to a climax that rarely satisfies my craving for genuine engagement. It’s like waiting for a grand fireworks show and ending up with a few sparklers.

So, where does my heart truly belong? Dancing and playing the guitar, that’s where! 💃🎸

There’s something magical about moving to the rhythm, letting the music guide your body in ways that words can’t describe. Whether it’s busting out in a freestyle dance or following choreography, dancing has this incredible power to make me feel alive, connected, and completely present. It’s my way of escaping the mundane and diving into a world of expression.

Then there’s playing the guitar – oh, what a joy! The feeling of those strings under my fingers, the melody that comes alive with each strum, it’s like having a conversation with my soul. Whether it’s the calming tunes or the electrifying solos, every chord and note I play resonates with a part of me that craves creativity and connection.

While holidays and football matches have their own charm, they’re just not my cup of tea. And that’s perfectly okay! We’re all wired differently, and our interests are as unique as our fingerprints. So, if you ever find me missing from the holiday crowd or not jumping up and down during a game, you’ll probably catch me dancing my heart out or serenading my guitar with melodies that speak to my soul.

What about you? Do you share my love for dance and music, or do holidays and football hold a special place in your heart? Let’s chat and celebrate the beauty of our individual passions!

Wishing you all a harmonious blend of activities that light up your world and bring you immense joy.

Stay groovy!

I’m a London-based Italian classical crossover guitarist without a British audience, and I don’t care

Ciao a tutti (Hi everyone),

Today, I want to share a little piece of my heart and my musical journey with all of you. I am an Italian classical crossover guitarist based in London, and here’s the truth: I don’t have a British audience, and you know what? I don’t care.

When I first arrived in London with my guitar in hand, I envisioned captivating the local crowd with my soulful Italian melodies infused with classical and contemporary influences. I dreamt of sharing the passion I feel when I play, and I hoped that my music would resonate deeply with the people of this vibrant city.

But sometimes, life takes you on unexpected paths. It became apparent that my music resonated more with listeners beyond the borders of the UK. At first, I felt a pang of disappointment; after all, I wanted to connect with the people in my new home.

However, as time went on, I started to embrace the beauty of the situation. Music has no boundaries; it is a language that transcends borders and cultures. While my music might not have found its roots in the hearts of the British audience, it has found a home in the hearts of people from various corners of the world.

Through the wonders of the internet and social media, I’ve been able to connect with kindred spirits, fellow musicians, and passionate music lovers from places I never imagined. My music has reached the ears of music enthusiasts in Italy, Spain, Germany, India, Japan, and beyond. The love and support I receive from this international community are great.

In a world where divisions sometimes seem to prevail, music unites us. It unites me with you, regardless of the miles that separate us. It’s a remarkable feeling to know that my melodies are creating connections and sparking emotions in the hearts of individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Sure, I’ll always be proud of my Italian heritage, and I cherish the support I receive from my friends and family back in Italy. But I’ve come to realize that being an international artist is a unique blessing. It allows me to bridge cultures, blend musical styles, and celebrate the richness of our shared human experience.

To my dear British audience, I want to extend my gratitude for the support you’ve shown me, even if it’s not on the scale I initially anticipated. Your encouragement has pushed me forward, and it serves as a reminder that music knows no boundaries.

To all the wonderful souls who have embraced my music from every corner of the globe, thank you for welcoming me into your hearts. Your love and enthusiasm fuel my passion, and I am honoured to be a part of your lives through my music.

So, here’s to being a London-based Italian classical crossover guitarist without a British audience, and here’s to embracing the beautiful and boundless connection that music brings us.

With love and music,

Donatello
