Life and career

Born in Montepulciano in 1977, daughter of theater director Mario Bastreghi, she joined the band Baustelle in the mid-1990s while still in high school, initially as a guitarist but soon focusing on vocals and keyboards.[1] The band released their debut album, Sussidiario illustrato della giovinezza, in 2000.

In 2003, Bastreghi collaborated with Francesco Bianconi on the album La verità sul tennis by Virginiana Miller[2] and worked with Perturbazione on the track "A luce spenta" from their 2005 album Canzoni allo specchio.[3]

She performed live with La Crus during their farewell concerts in 2008[4] and collaborated with Le luci della centrale elettrica on the soundtrack for the film Rust in 2011.[5] In 2014, she worked with Afterhours on a re-arrangement of "Mi trovo nuovo" for the reissue of their album Hai paura del buio?.[6]

On 11 November 2014, Bastreghi appeared in the TV series Questo nostro amore 70 as Marie, performing her original song "Mon petit ami du passé", which was later released as a single in December 2014, and featured on her solo EP Marie, released by Warner on 27 January 2015.[7][8][9]

On 30 April 2021, Bastreghi released her debut solo studio album, Psychodonna.[10]
