Hello my name is Donna Maria Maciocia (ma-cho-cha). I’m from Scotland (with an italian surname), but currently living & working in London and love to make music (& art when I can!)

After art school I focused most of my time fronting my band Amplifico, which was a rollercoaster ride. When I started Amplifico back in 2004, I had little experience singing, songwriting and recording, and I was pretty naive about the workings of the music biz. I am now thankfully a lot wiser with more confidence & hundreds of gigs under my belt, but of course know I still have masses to learn. Sometimes I feel I have barely skimmed the surface, despite looking back on all that I have achieved! Throughout this time I also had the pleasure of touring & recording with KT Tunstall who heard me sing at a gig in edinburgh in 2004. These were totally brilliant experiences I am forever grateful for (you can hear me sing throughout KT’s Acoustic Extravaganza album/DVD)
