Ronnie Grace
Vocals
Veronica Moro, professionally known as Ronnie Grace, is an Italian-Canadian singer, songwriter, and performer whose career spans Europe and North America.
Blending powerful rock vocals with contemporary songwriting, she has established herself as both a touring artist and recording vocalist across a wide range of international productions.
Educated in both Italy and the United Kingdom, Ronnie graduated in Acting and Performance from the Lorenzo Da Ponte Theatre Academy before earning a Master’s degree in Songwriting & Production from the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance (ICMP) in London.
Over the past fifteen years, she has performed in more than 900 live shows across Europe, the United Kingdom and North America, appearing in theatres, festivals and concert venues with internationally acclaimed productions. She is the lead vocalist of Strange Kind of Women, the world’s leading all-female Deep Purple tribute, and regularly tours Europe with Rock The Opera, a symphonic rock production.
In 2026, Veronica was selected as the only Italian artist in the international cast of DRACONIA, the long-awaited rock opera composed and produced by Bulgarian guitarist and composer Nikolo Kotzev, further strengthening her reputation as an internationally sought-after rock vocalist.
Her career has taken her from recording sessions at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London with YouTube rockstar Sina Drums to performing at SXSW (South by Southwest) in Austin, Texas, one of the world’s premier showcases for emerging international artists, before continuing with performances in iconic New York venues including The Bitter End and Café Wha?.
Among her career highlights are winning the Pordenone Blues Festival songwriting competition with an original composition, appearing on Italian national television in Rai 1’s Tali e Quali, hosted by Carlo Conti, and contributing to musical projects that have collectively amassed more than five million YouTube views.
Alongside her touring career, Veronica develops her original project, Ronnie Grace, where atmospheric pop, alternative rock and cinematic influences converge into a distinctive contemporary sound, with her debut EP “DREAMCORE” set to be released in 2027. As both a songwriter and performer, she continues to explore the intersection of powerful live performance, modern production and emotionally driven storytelling, while collaborating with internationally recognized musicians, producers and creative teams.
Marius Holland
Keyboards, Vocals
Marius Holland is a Berlin-based producer, vocalist, and keyboardist blending deep jazz foundations with dark, cinematic synth production. Born in Germany, Holland built his foundation in classical and jazz piano, taking multiple trips to New Orleans in his early teens to soak up the roots of American music. He moved on to study Jazz & Pop Piano in Nürnberg and ultimately obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at ArtEZ University of the Arts in the Netherlands. During his studies, Holland had already begun working and collaborating professionally.
Since then, his career has taken him to international studios and brought him together with renowned artists and producers: recording at Abbey Road Studios for Sina Drums, working with producer Warren Huart, performing with NYC jazz icon Wayne Escoffery, and co-producing for German hip-hop legend Kool Savas.
In 2026, Holland debuted Candorlie, a darkpop music project that extends beyond music, consciously integrating interdisciplinary collaborations with fashion designers and live dancers. Driven by an Ableton Live set, the raw analog weight of the Prophet Rev2 synthesizer, and heavily processed autotune vocals, Candorlie fuses Mike Dean-style synth production with hyperpop edge. Inspired by theatrical works like the Schaubühne's Peer Gynt, the project lives at the intersection of truth and deception, where digital artifice becomes the ultimate vehicle for raw emotional honesty.
Blending darkpop, fashion, and performance art, Candorlie captures the zeitgeist of contemporary society, playfully yet earnestly navigating the space between digital artifice and emotional authenticity.
Biljana Sovilj
Guitars, Bass
Biljana Sovilj is a classically trained guitarist, arranger, and composer whose music moves between two very different worlds: the quiet intimacy of fingerstyle guitar and the raw energy of heavy metal.
She arranges music that carries emotional weight, such as film scores, piano compositions, and rock classics, for a single guitar. Ludovico Einaudi sits next to Metallica, and Hans Zimmer next to Pink Floyd. She starts from the melody and builds around it, guided less by how a song can be played and more by how its feeling can be preserved. Her videos have no words and no commentary, just a guitar and a song she chose because it means something to her. She has also released two original compositions, Polaris and Pherkad.
As the bass player of the all-female death metal band Nemesis, she recorded two studio albums, The War Is On (2020) and Embrace Reality (2024). She performed on the main stage of Exit Festival, at Hills of Rock and Revolution Festival, and supported artists such as Sabaton, Bullet For My Valentine, Nervosa, and Thy Art Is Murder.
Whether on a festival stage or alone with a classical guitar, she plays for the same reason: music that makes people feel something and helps them reconnect with themselves.
