Originally from Modena, Italy, Her Skin is 25-year-old singer songwriter, Sara Ammendolia. Sara started writing songs when she was fifteen years old and always had a huge passion for music. The first song she ever liked was Le Freak by Chic and she now takes inspiration for her own music from many bands / artists including, Sibylle Baier, Vashti Bunyan, Mac DeMarco, Beirut, Joni Mitchell, Jay Malinowski, The Kinks, the Head and the Heart.
“It took me three years to write and record these nine songs, and I am aware that I’m not the same person I was when I started working on this record, but that’s what makes it so special to me. It’s an album about the lessons I learned, the people I loved, the time it took me to heal.
‘I Started a Garden’ is a crash course on how to deal with the mess of being in your twenties, feeling lonely, nostalgic and out of place and not knowing where you belong. While writing this album I was just waiting to ‘become myself again’, but I learned that everything you bury is a seed.” SARA AMMENDOLIA
This year she has performed at numerous festivals including SXSW in Texas, The Great Escape in Brighton, Mondo in New York, Primavera in Barcelona and performed at this year’s Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg. She has also done multiple tours around the world taking in Italy, France, Germany, Holland, Hungary, India and United States
