Discovering her love for jazz and its powerful freedom of expression she continued her studies by participating to Jazz Seminars and studying under great artists like Maria Pia Devito, Paolo Fresu, Garrison Fewell and more. In 2008 she graduated with a BA in Jazz from Cagliari University. Since then, she has performed and collaborated from New York to LA with musicians and composers of incredible caliber such as Piero Angeli, Dario Forzato, Kevin Bales and more. She currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia, where she just finished recording her first solo Album that will be released in the fall 2019, coproduced by pianist Kevin Bales.

Roberta’s warm and evocative voice accompanies the listener to a journey. A dynamic performer with a natural ability to connect with the heart of the audience, she draws enthusiastic fan support wherever she performs.
