About Intrigo
It was in Italy, in the beautiful city of Vicenza, that Kicca let out her first cry. She began singing at the early age of 6, entered a choir and music became a part of her life eversince. She began developping her own style inspired by many artists like Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Nancy Wilson, Julie Driscoll & Brian Auger, among others. Aged 15, she sang Rhythm 'n' Blues and Soul Music with local bands. Year 2004 was a turning point in her career as she met the impetuous keyboard player Oscar Marchioni who is a great composer fascinated by vintage tunes. Together they launched the « Kicca & Intrigo » band. It composed original songs recalling the 60’s, with touches of jazz and soul music immersing the audience into light and dizzy moods. The musical encounter between Kicca and Oscar Oscar Marchioni, two sensitive soul-loving artists, is not just a stroke of luck and is nothing short of extraordinary either. Her playful voice is a happy breath of fresh air, full of intense emotion accompanied by his firey fingers prancing across the keyboard. Irreproachable rhythm and harmony flow from Oscar's imposing left hand while never-ending melodies seep out from under the right in response to the alluring kaleidoscope of sound that is Kicca's voice. Their natural curiosity and insatiable drive to produce led these artists to form the trio Intrigo in 2003 with Italian drummer Paolo Mappa. Bursting with jazz passion, boogaloo and the energy of 60's soul, their first self-producted album Bollente released in 2004, was followed by performances throughout Italy, France and Belgium.
