Behind the songs that quickly reach the public stands an artist in constant search. Andia speaks openly about the process behind her music, about the balance between vulnerability and image, and about the stage of maturity she is going through right now. The shooting created for Touch captures exactly this moment, one in which style, energy and artistic identity are becoming increasingly clear.

1. Who is Andia in this period of her life, beyond the stage and everything the public sees?

During this period of my life I feel like I am in a process of growth and a deeper understanding of who I am beyond the stage. I am learning to listen more to my intuition, to respect my own rhythm and to stop living only in haste or in the expectations of others. I pay more attention to my inner quiet, to the people around me and to the simple things that bring me back to myself.

I do not think I am very different from what the public sees, it is just that there is also a more vulnerable and quieter side of me that I do not always show. I am someone who is still discovering, who asks questions, who goes through moments of doubt but also through a lot of gratitude.

2. What inspires you the most when you start working on a new song, a feeling, a person, a moment?

Usually I let myself be guided by the feeling that the song gives me the moment I hear it. I try not to analyze too much at the beginning but rather to feel its energy and see where it takes me. From there I start giving it stylistic color and building the emotion.

The process is quite raw for me. I do not like to control things too much or to overthink how it should sound. I prefer to let musical intuition lead because most of the time that is where something authentic appears.

3. What is the funniest or most unexpected thing that has happened to you on stage?

I think I have experienced almost everything that can happen on a stage. From moments when my in ear monitor did not work in time to situations where the audience reacted completely unexpectedly and I had to improvise on the spot.

P.S. It happened to me to receive dedications to wish someone from the audience a happy birthday.

4. What part of you reaches the music and what part do you choose to keep only for yourself?

A very sincere part of me reaches the music, especially the emotion I feel when I record a song. The studio is a very intimate space for me and that is where I allow many emotions to come out exactly as they are.

At the same time there is also a part of my life that I choose to keep just for myself. I believe it is important for an artist to share emotion through music but also to protect their privacy and the things that keep them connected to who they are.

5. Fashion is a language. What does your style say about the stage you are in now?

My style has evolved quite naturally over the past few years. There was a period when my bob haircut defined my image a lot and took me into a cooler and edgier direction.

Now, as I get closer to 30 and my hair is longer, I feel that I am also moving toward a more lady like style. At the same time the base remains the same, the one of an artist. I still like to play with masculine and feminine elements because androgyny has always been part of my stylistic identity.

6. When you will look back at this material in a few years, what would you like it to remind you about this stage of your life?

I think I would like it to remind me of a period in which I started to understand myself better and to have more confidence in who I am, both as a person and as an artist.

It is a stage in which I am discovering my style more clearly, both musically and visually, and in which I am learning to have patience with the process. I feel that things are becoming more settled and more assumed, especially in the way I express myself through both music and image.

If I read this material again in a few years I would like it to remind me of a moment of growth, authenticity and the courage to define my own artistic identity.

7. If there were a behind the scenes of your life, what do you think would surprise people the most?

I think people would be surprised by how playful I can be behind the stage. People see me quite focused and serious when I perform but in everyday life I am very spontaneous and playful.

I have been told many times that I have a bright energy in the way I connect with people but at the same time I am also very changeable with my plans. I can say in the morning that I want to go out and do a thousand things and a few hours later decide that the best plan is to stay home, watch a series and do absolutely nothing.

I think a behind the scenes would actually show a mix of a lot of energy, laughter and moments in which I am perfectly happy in pajamas with a good series.

8. If you had not become an artist, what do you think you would have done and how different would your life have been?

I think I would have done something related to people, maybe psychology or a field where I could work directly with emotions and their stories. In the end music is also about connection. But I also know that there would have been a side dedicated to animals and people and I would have liked to be more involved in protecting them.

9. What was your first reaction when you saw the visual concept and the outfits prepared for you?

My first reaction was that it would definitely take me out of my comfort zone with the new look. But honestly that is exactly what I liked. It was the kind of moment when you look in the mirror and say “Ok… I actually love this.”

So much that I think I have found a new style that I will also adopt in my everyday life and I am absolutely not joking.

10. Have you ever felt the pressure to maintain a certain type of image?

Honestly I have not felt that pressure from the people I work with. I have been lucky to be surrounded by people who allowed me to grow naturally without imposing what to say, how to dress or how to be.

If there was any pressure I think it mostly came from me. At the beginning you want to always look sharp and confident but in reality you also need time to discover yourself and shape who you are. In a way the battle was more with myself than with the image.
