Perspective
Violet Blend is an Italian band formed by Giada Celeste Chelli and Michel Agostini. The two began collaborating in 2014 and later decided to form a band. In 2016, they released the single Every Time (We Say Goodbye) on YouTube under the name Violet. In 2017, bassist Ferruccio Baroni joined the duo, giving life to Violet Blend. In the same year, they began collaborating with Lorenzo Fedi, who took on the role of manager of the band.
White Mask
On February 1, 2018, Violet Blend released their debut album White Mask. The album's presentation was accompanied by a guerrilla marketing campaign: over five thousand white masks with a painted purple V invaded the city of Florence, attracting the attention of citizens and national media, including La Nazione,[4] La Repubblica,[5] Il Mattino[6] and Radio Freccia, which interviewed them live.
Each copy of the album features a real matchbox on the cover with the words "Burn your mask", a provocative message that invites people to reclaim interpersonal relationships in the age of social media.[7]
White Mask received positive acclaim worldwide and attracted the attention of American record label Eclipse Records, which sings the band.
Demons
On April 1, 2022, the album Demons was released via Eclipse Records. The singles Rock DJ, Among All These Fools, Need and La Donna Mobile were extracted from the album. The latter song is the soundtrack of “La Donna Mobile – Campaign against Gender Discrimination and Violence”,[8] a social project against gender discrimination and violence in favor of AIDOS – Associazione Italiana Donne per lo Sviluppo with the collaboration and patronage of the Municipality of Florence and the Department of Equal Opportunities, of Biblioteca Riccardiana, of Teatro Verdi and Viper Theater[9] The album was recorded, mixed and mastered at Alessandro Del Vecchio's Ivorytears Music Works by Andrea Seveso and produced by Giada Celeste Chelli.
