Interview with Monica Marozzi of Eterea and Pete Devine of Pete’s Rock News and Views (https://petesrocknewsandviews.com)
PD: Can you tell us briefly about your background – i.e. where you’re from, how you came to make music, etc.
Monica: Hi, my name is Monica, and it is my pleasure to write for you… I am from Italy, specifically from Emilia-Romagna.
I started to sing for fun when I was young at a karaoke party approximately 18 years ago with my 
friends, and after that occasion, I started to learn the best technique for myself. I remember that my first song was Angel of Within Temptation by the band. Yes, it was so hard, like my first song, and it makes me smile, but all the work that I have done during these years has given me a lot of satisfaction.
Stefano, my singermate, comes from Lombardia, always Italy-based, and he started to sing when he was very young. He sang for many metal cover bands until now, with our first project, Legend.
PD: What are your aspirations as an artist?
Monica: I think that as a composer of vocal melodies my aim was to create something unique and to involve the listener as much as possible, in my opinion a good singer must not only be able to perform a piece but also to interpret it and as a composer to involve him,so what I hope is not only to make numbers but to get to be appreciated.
PD: Who and what inspires you to make music, both in terms of musical and other influences? What do you like to write about in your songs?
Monica: I’ve always sung cover songs of well-known metal bands and I actually found some sounds in the compositions of the composers who then wrote for me. for the rest I have done nothing but put myself on the line both as a singer and as a composer.
I like to write about everything , of course I was helped by the films here , so I was not forced to invent a story , but I simply wrote some scenes in the text .
for the next songs, however, even death and destruction wouldn’t be bad.
PD: Who has influenced you as an artist?
Monica: My best influence are Epica , Nightwish , kamelot . they are the best bands for me .
PD: What is the proudest moment in your music career so far?
Monica: Surely this album and my participation in the choirs of Rhapsody of fire.
PD: Promoting one’s music is such a challenge these days, especially with so many new artists emerging from bedrooms in the day of the home studio. How is that going?
Monica: In this moment it is going good , and I am seeing that my songs like so much to people and I am very happy .
PD: And how do you book and promote your live shows and tours? Any performances coming up?
Monica: Actualy Legend in this moment is only a studio project ..maybe in the future with the news about it for a change of way.
PD: What do you think about downloading music online? What about streaming sites like Spotify?
Monica: The Download music online is the future and I think is the best way to make people to know the new bands and their projects but the also the physical musical experience ( sell own cd ) for me is still the fulcrum of a personal satisfaction.
PD: What song do you wish you’d written and why?
Monica: There are so many songs I would like to write; now I’m focused on giving my best for this album. But if you tell me about this album, all that I had to write I have already done, and I am very proud.
PD: Is there anything you don’t like about the music industry, which you would change if you could
Monica: I don’t know very much about the music industry, so I can’t know how to give you an answer about this argument because this is my first experience and I decided to do it all alone.
PD: So, what are you working on at the moment
Monica: In this moment i am working to make my next video to put on my youtube channel because I think it is important to sponsor my music throught images and use tool to get known.
PD: Where can we learn more about you and buy your music/merch online?
Monica: You can find the web sites here below to buy the CD and get more information.
