about
Gaia Riva is an Italian pop/rock singer-songwriter. Her love for music began when she was 21, after meeting Andrea Noto, guitarist and songwriter. Gaia started to write her own songs straight away and avoided covering other artists’ pieces, something rather unusual for an emerging singer. She dedicated the first years of her music career to experimenting and finding her own style and emotional identity. She has written many songs, mainly in English, and recorded several demos at the Phoenix Studio in Castel Mella (Brescia, Italy). The quality of her music and her singing talent quickly made her stand out: she won several national awards and was contacted by a number of talent scouts and A&R executives in the music industry. In 2006 she was approached by Sony/BMG, with which she signed her first contract. By mutual consent, the project took on a different shape: Gaia decided to perform as a solo artist rather than in a duo, a less effective formula. Andrea became the project’s artistic producer and continued collaborating in all aspects of her recording and music career. Gaia’s first single, One, was released in 2006 with Sony/BMG and was chosen as the soundtrack for the Lancia Phedra ad, broadcast on the major Italian TV channels in the Spring of 2006. Gaia took part in the Festivalbar Gran Galà in 2006, in the Italian edition of Top of the Pops and in the 2006 Giffoni Film Festival. One was included in Festivalbar’s 2006 Blue Compilation and in the CD Wind Summer Col
