  WILDCARD: A FORCE OF NATURE!

LORENZA WILDCARD IS AN INTERNATIONAL SINGER-SONGWRITER RECOGNIZED FOR HER SONGWRITING, MUSICAL VERSATILITY AND ARTISTIC REINVENTIONS.

THIS IS AN ARTIST WHO’S BRILLIANCE AND ABILITY TO EVOLVE IS KEEPING US HOOKED AND HER FAST DROPPED SINGLES ARE A TESTAMENT TO THAT.  

SUCCESS IS NOT A COMFORTABLE PROCESS AND WILDCARD IS SHOWING US THAT SHE IS NOT AFRAID OF BEING HERSELF WHILE CROSSING MUSICAL GENRES.  

WITH A STRONG, POWERFUL AND GRITTY VOICE SHE DELIVERS GREAT MUSIC. DISARMINGLY HONEST AND UNAPOLOGETIC, SHE CONTINUES TO SWIPE THE MUSIC SCENE.  

HER APPROACH TO INTERACTING WITH THE PUBLIC IS FRESH AND EXCITING WITH AN ENERGY, AN ENTHUSIASM AND SINCERITY THAT ARE CONTAGIOUS.  

THIS IS A TALENTED, SMART, WITTY ARTIST WHO IS CLEARLY WORKING REALLY HARD, BUT ALSO, REBELLIOUS AND WITH A RELAXED COOLNESS, WHICH HAS CREATED AN ELEMENT OF ALLURE AROUND HER IMAGE.

The Pitch: the story behind the music

Lorenza Wildcard is a strong and prolific artist who took back control of her life from a narrative that got away from her, showing resilience and an openness that is disarmingly honest when talking about raw emotions and her vulnerable side. But this is also an artist who does not want to conform nor comply. With each of Wildcard’s releases we are witnessing a growth and an evolution at both a personal and artistic level. While embracing her newly discovered talent, she is showing us her fun, rebellious, confident and sexy side while continuing to speak candidly about her personal life experiences.

It is for this reason that there is an element to her fan-base where they feel like they are growing together. It does not come as a surprise that her releases are very carefully chosen to allow for her fans to come on a journey with her, almost as if they were reading her diary. Aware of this, the artist is known for regularly posting behind the scenes, planting easter eggs in her art works and dropping cryptic teasers on her posts. It is clear Wildcard is having fun with her success as well as using her limelight to promote empowering messages.

While with “ You & I ” we felt Wildcard’s sorrow and with “ My Army ” we felt uplifted and empowered, with “Call the Devil” and “Tequila (all I wanna do is dance)” we have been shown a more confident and witty side.

“Call the Devil” is about pushing boundaries while testing societal rules and beliefs about how one should live their life. It’s about being rebellious and a little daredevil, albeit never loosing site of values or slipping too far.

“ Tequila (all I wanna do is dance)” is a sexy and powerful song about a confident woman who is comfortable with her image and who does not seek validation from others. She is feeling great and unapologetic about dancing on her own, promoting self-acceptance and sending out a message to other women to follow suit.

“ Wasting my time ” is Wildcard’s latest single, released just 6 weeks after the drop of 2 singles that topped several indie charts worldwide. This is an energetic, fun rock song that will resonate with anyone that has had to deal with dating time wasters. It’s fast paced, catchy and with witty lyrics which turn tables on narratives.

With Wildcard’s latest releases we are shown a more rebellious side of this exciting artist, who is capable of delivering audaciously witty and sassy lyrics wrapped in catchy melodies. The message? Incite new and old gens to take back control of their lives and narratives, to be fierce, independent and perhaps a little wild, unleashed and unrepentant too.

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.

Wildcard has definitely gone a long way from the classic pop ballad with a modern feel that is her debut single “ You & I ” (2021). With the release of her follow up single, “ My Army ” (2023), we saw her move towards a more energetic and upbeat pop, rock, Americana sound defined by lashes of rock riffs with folk and blues hints.

With “Call the Devil” we are immediately gripped by hard-hitting drum beat that carries thru the entire song injecting it with a rock blues sound. There are lashes of electrics guitar riffs, funky bass beats, folk violins and a gritty voice that ripples with sensuality and confidence.

“Tequila (all I wanna do is dance)” is a proof of Wildcard’s undeniable ability to reinvent herself. The 100 BPM with a hard, masculine synth dance beat, sultry voice oozing with seductiveness and catchy lines, make it hard not to dance to.

Wasting my Time is an energetic, fierce and sassy rock song with a beat that makes you want to bounce around. Gritty, sexy, playful vocals deliver bold and witty lyrics. The beat is fast and married to a melody that is extremely catchy with great guitar riffs, funky bass beats, a hard beating drum and quirky violins.

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 and 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 a knack for making music, she put together a support band and started gigging.

Wildcard took residency at Headline Music Studios (UK) in 2023, having found a great producer in 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. She is expected to release a more singles thru 2024.

Philanthropy & social activism

Wildcard is an advocate for feminism and women rights, supporting the need for changing narratives about women. She is a keen advocate for women’s self-awareness and self-acceptance and for normalizing discussions about feminism within fashion, a tool used by women to decide who they want to be and how they want to look in order to communicate and express that identity to the world. She is a supporter of animal welfare and environmental issues and donates to several animal charities. She is also the founder of “Wellness & Purpose” an online platform with free resources aimed at helping people lead a happier, healthier and financially secure life.

“Never lose your spirit! Keep moving, keep evolving!”

“When all fails, just style the fuck out of it!”

“As a musician I love sharing my art and it’s amazing and I’m very grateful that I now have a global reach. But I’m not interested in fitting into music genres or creating art to please the public. I’m an artist and as such I need to be free to express myself and experiment. Your idea of me is not my responsibility to live up to. “

“I used to wonder if people liked me. Now I walk around thinking ‘fuck it’”

“Sorry, I’m different! I don’t conform nor comply.”

“Don’t tell me what I can or can’t achieve. You are not the gatekeeper of my dreams! I am!”

“The magic you are looking for is in the hard work and in daring to be yourself.”
