Cinzia Catania - Anatomy Of Melancholy (2018)

Singer and composer, Cinzia Catania, half Swiss – half Sicilian, grew up in Switzerland in a very artistic environment. She started her musical education playing the classical flute at a young age but always loved to sing whenever she had the opportunity.

After participating in the project «Jazzaar», Cinzia discovered her love of Jazz and began taking vocal lessons while she continued to play her flute. She found herself singing and playing in a Jazz orchestra, various ensembles, projects and eventually formed her own band, which performed around Switzerland.

After receiving her matura diploma with an emphasis in the arts, the dream of becoming a professional singer had intensified; she then decided to move to the Netherlands where she studied Jazz voice for one year with many inspiring educators such as Mark Gross, Alex Sipiagin, Don Braden and Dena De Rose just to mention a few. Cinzia then followed her teacher and mentor, the American jazz vocalist and pianist Dena De Rose, to Austria where she continued her studies in the Jazz institute at the University for Music and Performing Arts in Graz. Among other teachers, she studied with Mary Frances Lubahn, Annette Giesriegl, Ed Partyka, Ed Neumeister and Stjepko Gut. After receiving her Bachelor diploma (summa cum laude), she moved back to Switzerland to earn her Masters Degree in Music Pedagogy at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, which she completed 2016. She then earned a second Masters Degree in Composition (Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts) in 2018.

The many styles that Jazz embodies fascinate her and she not only incorporates that into her song writing, but is also active in many different projects exploring music in all its facets.

Her sound is crystalline, yet warm and smooth; she is feathery and rhythmical in her Bossa Nova and strong and passionate when singing in Sicilian.

She has been performing all around Europe such as Switzerland, Holland, Austria, Rumania, Italy and Germany.
