Francesco De Grazia

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. One of my earliest musical memories goes back to when I was about 5 or 6. In summer, my family and I would go to the sea almost every day along the Sicilian coast, listening to music on cassette tapes, that deeply shaped my musical taste. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Dhafer Youssef, Birds Requiem Emerson String Quartet, Ives & Barber: String Quartets Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin (Remastered) Birds Requiem: dreamlike, deeply inspired, a place I often return to. Ives & Barber: String Quartets: discovered via Hilary Hahn, I keep coming back to it. Led Zeppelin: a record I wore out on repeat, tied to my teenage years. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Dancing Lights” I think Dancing Lights is a particularly special one: it marks the beginning of my artistic collaboration with Arielle Krebs, which led us to write many albums and develop several artistic projects together.
