When Isa! Performs on Stage

By Isa!

I love the connection it creates. You see strangers that aren't strangers anymore, something stronger unites you now. They look at you, maybe you're playing the music they love and they've grown up with, maybe you're telling your own music and they're seeing themselves mirrored in your words, they're there and your souls are dancing together. You can just feel it. And yes, once you get off stage they'll come to you and tell you how awesome you were and everything, but you know what they are really trying to describe is how perfect that felt. That is the reason I started performing, the way music made me feel, the way I felt when I went to concerts, I felt connected and I wanted to be there and give that awesomeness back. The world needs more of this, we need more music and connection and peace and sincerity and community. Music gives you that Some venues are amazing, I can't not think about this place called the Rock'n'Roll Club in my home city Milan: they hold rock and metal jam sessions every two weeks, and you'll find anyone there. From young rockers, to adults who've just learnt how to play an instrument, to 5 year old kids who scream Pink Floyd on stage, to veterans of the industry, You find everyone there. And even though I may not know everyone when I step in, the moment the music starts we're all together. I play not to be crushingly good, or to flex, that would ruin everything. I give it my all to create the magic. As a drummer I have a talent to make everything come together, that's the superpower of my instrument. If I'm solid and I do my job, then the magic happens. And when people come up to me to compliment, I know it goes beyond "you're soo good". No words can capture that, but it's part of the magic. And when someone comes up to me and says that I've inspired them to play or given them new faith, then I know I've done my job.
