Artist bio
Lorenza Wildcard discovered her talent during lockdown. Following the sudden and intense rupture of her relationship, she decided to put her feelings on paper as a way to process her emotional turmoil. Just 24 hours after writing her first song, recording her vocals accompanied by guitar on her mobile phone and sharing it with just four friends, she was approached by music producer Ettore della Campa and weeks later flown to a recording studio where her debut single “You & I” was produced.
Following the unexpected international success of her debut single, Wildcard decided to fully embrace her singing-songwriting career. With no musical education but with great intuition and an innate ability to create catchy melodies, she put together a support band and started gigging.
In 2023, Wildcard took residency at Headline Music Studios (UK), and started working with producer Piers Mortimer, who has collaborated with a wide range of musicians including established legends like Deep Purple and the Jamiroquai band as well as emerging unsigned artists, and with whom she felt she had the right professional chemistry. Wildcard is set to release more singles thought 2024.

Musical style
In a relatively short span of time, Lorenza Wildcard has become one of most exciting voices on the music market and in the last year we have seen a whole new side of her.
With multi genre single releases thru 2023, Wildcard is proving to be not just talented but also a hard-working artist who is fearless, keen and capable of regenerating, evolving and venturing into various music genres. Uninterested in genre labelling, conforming or complying, she is keen to let her artistry lead the way,
Ambitious in the genres she navigates, her music encompasses everything from pop, dance, americana, rock with blues elements and alternative rock with a reminiscent of punk, while never losing her trademark voice.
With a gritty but versatile timbre her signature vocals play with expressive cadences prioritizing the deliverance of a message by using passionate and heartfelt climaxes over showcasing power, nuance or vocal embellishments.
From pop ballads that touch the soul with strong emotional undertones and deep introspective lyrics delivered with soft soothing vocals, to fast paced, energetic catchy melodies married with witty lines and a sultry gritty voice oozing with seductiveness that ripples with playfulness and confidence.
Her music is a bold declaration of moving forward and embracing the freedom that comes from breaking away anything toxic with an upbeat tempo and defiant tones that amplify the empowerment.
Wildcard’s music draws largely from determination, honesty and authenticity to propel her musical direction and signature sound. Her lyrics are infused with gritty heartfelt vocals laced with hard-hitting drums, gripping electric guitar riffs, funky bass beats and quirky violins that bring in folk and blues hints even amidst her more punk-rock tracks.
Wildcard’s latest single “ Love & Cuss ” is a high-energy rock song with punk attitude. Fast paced, hard-hitting drums and captivating guitar riffs deliver a fun and energetic melody that together with the powerful, high pitched, gritty vocals and the superb guitar and violin solos, makes this a truly unique and bad-ass track.
Lorenza Wildcard’s quotes
“Dream so big normal people think you are fucking crazy! Then execute it. Shock everyone!”
“Never lose your spirit! Keep moving, keep evolving!”
“The magic you are looking for is in the hard work and in daring to be yourself.”
“Don’t tell me what I can or can’t achieve. You are not the gatekeeper of my dreams! I am!”
“When this musical journey begun, because it happened all of a sudden and so unexpectedly, at times I felt I was not taken seriously as a musician. People who knew me wondered if this was a phase and musicians were wary of me as an artist. But I found something I deeply love. I feel I truly belong here. So, I kept my head down and tried to focus on my goals. All the rest is noise. Obviously, there were moments, and still there are, when I feel like I am not going anywhere, that I am delusional and this can leave me feeling so swallowed up by it all. It’s funny though how you can feel all of those insecurities, yet become so incredibly determined to pull thru with a somewhat defiant attitude that turns into confidence.”
“I’m going to bet on myself. I don’t want to just go thru my life worried about making mistakes, failing or being judged. I’m shedding things that are not me and I’m going for it. I’m not gonna be pulled anymore away from my dreams.”
