Double THumb (aka Val Del Prete) is a singer, songwriter, producer and sound engineer. Born in Italy, her talent was evident when she was just 3 years old and she could already play the piano by ear and sing with perfect pitch. Strongly influenced by diverse artists like Bjork, Cocteau Twins, Emilie Simon, her music is at the one time sensual and melancholic, ethereal and raw, characterized by complex and heart-felt lyrics, haunting vocal layers and ambient sounds.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
NO
Band History:
See introduction above. Val also adds:
"Words are important in my songs. They often come with the melody and they often come unwanted, as in a stream of consciousness. I don't try to tell a story, but rather to suggest a mood, an emotion. I tell people not to try and understand my lyrics, but just feel them, as with a poem"
"I think MUSIC IS ABOUT HAVING SOMETHING TO SAY, and to say it clear and loud. I hate what is going on in the music industry nowadays. There are too few credible artists and too many disposable pretty puppets in the hands of 1 or 2 producers. I don't try to conform to their criteria to be just a manufactured product. My music is about the rawness in me and it comes from a very secret corner inside me. I have to be myself, or I won't be at all. "
