About / Biography

"Elegant and sophisticated, Davina's act will bring your event to the next level! Thanks to many years of experience, she has great intuition when it comes to create the right atmosphere and can effortlessly go from jazz to pop repertoire, singing in English, Italian, Brazilian and more!"

Hi! My name is Davina, I come from Italy and live in my beloved city of Rotterdam for 8 years now. I'm a professional singer, guitarist and performing artist graduated from Codarts Conservatory in 2020 in Jazz singing.
As a solo act I offer a vast repertoire, from the crooners jazz world to pop hits, bossa nova hits (think of Jobim), as well as the most romantic songs you might want to hear as you walk down the aisle. Requests are more than welcome!

I can accompany myself with my jazz guitar (electric but warm and elegant) or with my acoustic/Spanish guitar for a more southern and/or beach vibe... Take a look at my videos to see what your favorite sound might be!

If, instead, you prefer to hear the original music of your chosen music, I can also use backing tracks to sing along to... Just let me know and I will make sure you get the perfect music act for your special event.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I need a performance space of at least 2 meters x 3 meters. I'd also need a power socket with a minimum of 3 spots, and 1 parking space.


What information do you require about a venue?

I need to know any directions that will help me find the venue and find the right place to load in my equipment. Moreover, it is important to me to have a room which can be locked, where I can leave my belongings, get changed and retire to when I am not performing.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

I do provide my own PA System but no lighting.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, we’re happy to play music from Spotify before, after and between our sets. We’re happy to choose the music ourselves or let the client choose the music.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

My favorite production has been the "7 senses" dinnershow in Villa Thalia (Rotterdam). It was a great show full of special features and moments, a show where I felt I could shine and grow as an artist!


What's your favourite type of event?

Il love contributing to people's special moments/celebrations by creating the perfect atmosphere, adding that one special layer that enriches and deepens the connection between people.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Since the age of 18 I played at countless events, from private to corporate, weddings, anniversaries, backyard birthday parties, but I also performed at festivals and on important stages with my own original music.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

My absolute favorite song is Black Coffee, especially the version of Sarah Vaughan with orchestra. I still get the chills when I hear her low velvety voice singing those bitter bluesy lines.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I like to arriva 2 hours in advance to load out, get to know the client in person and/or the personnel, familiarize with the space and make sure the sound is perfectly set for the room, before I retire in my changing room for the last touches, outfit change and a short vocal warm up. I usually take short breaks of 20 up to 30 minutes in between sets to rest and recharge my voice, unless the event requires a different flow - I am very flexible about that.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I love playing outside when the conditions are optimal for the performance: if it's winter, I'll need an outdoor heater nearby and protection from the rain with a big enough tent/gazebo, if the forecast mentions the possibility of rain; on hot summer days, I'll need a tent/gazebo to repair myself and my gear from the heat. Power supply nearby the stage is also always necessary.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Outside of my repertoire, I can prepare up to 5 extra songs, when that is communicated long in advance. The existing repertoire can always be discussed when there's a preference for a vibe rather than another, to make sure that the client is satisfied.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

My previous clients describe my performances as elegant and sophisticated, perfectly matching the requirements of the event, high level, and extremely relaxing in terms of pleasantness and mood.


Can you write a song especially for our event/occasion?

Of course! If you have a certain idea and topic in mind, a special message for a loved one, I can write a song for you for an additional fee.
