Nadia Lanfranconi: The Italian Songbird's Resilience Through Faith and Style


Nadia Lanfranconi may be known today as a singer-songwriter and actress, but her journey was anything but ordinary. Born in Lake Como, Italy, a town famed for its elegance and beauty, Nadia’s childhood was far from the glamour associated with the region. Instead, she grew up as a black sheep—a punk rocker in a place that celebrated tradition and sophistication. At 17, with purple hair and a rebellious attitude, she stood out against the fashion norms of her small town. Instead of conforming, she cut up her clothes and reimagined her wardrobe, creating diagonal skirts and bold designs before they ever became trendy. Fashion for Nadia wasn’t about following the rules—it was about expressing her individuality, even in a world that didn’t understand her.

Nadia’s transformative journey led her to Los Angeles, where she has the privilege of working with renowned talents like film producer Barry Navidi and film legend Al Pacino, both of whom she now considers mentors.




A Struggle for Survival: Nadia’s Early Years


Long before Nadia would become a presence on the music stage or acting on screen, she was a young girl grappling with a difficult upbringing. Growing up in an abusive household from humble beginnings, her life at home was filled with challenges. Her first experiments with fashion were not by choice. As the youngest of three sisters, every piece of clothing she wore was handed down from generations before. Wearing vintage was not a statement of style but one of necessity.


Her escape from a harsh reality came through music and film. Nadia was only four years old when she made her first appearance on an Italian television show where children competed by singing, broadcast across Italy. "I remember rehearsing the song over and over, and this was the first time I was able to perform outside of my own home.” Little did she know that she would end up performing many years later at places like the legendary Viper Room or the Dodgers stadium in LA.


Nadia’s love for music deepened as she grew older. She would retreat to her room, put on headphones, and let the radio transport her to a peaceful world. Before she could speak, she was singing—music became her first language and her refuge. “Music was my escape,” she says. “It made me feel free like nothing else.”




Faith and Angels: A Guiding Light Through Darkness


It wasn’t just music that helped Nadia through the darkest periods of her life. She believes it was her deep faith in God and the presence of angels that carried her through. As a child, she would often feel the comforting touch of an invisible hand on her shoulder or hear words guiding her. “There were times I could feel angels with me,” Nadia says. “They helped me decide who to trust, who to ignore, and what path to follow.”


Nadia’s faith in angels gave her the strength to persevere. She attributes much of her resilience to these divine encounters, saying they provided her with wisdom beyond her years. “It’s like knowledge was coming through me,” she recalls. “I knew I just had to survive the tough times because something better was waiting for me.”

Her openness about the topic of angels sparked a friendship with world renowned celebrity fashion photographer/director, Jim Jordan, who photographed Nadia for the cover of this edition. Nadia is incredibly grateful for the friendship and opportunity to work with Jim.




A Brilliant Mind and an Unstoppable Spirit


Nadia’s intelligence and natural curiosity drove her to explore music more deeply, pushing her to write her own songs and dream of a future far from the small town where she felt trapped.


Through a series of divinely orchestrated events, Nadia found herself on a flight to Los Angeles. She knew it was the place where she could immerse herself fully in music and find the freedom she had always longed for. “LA felt like the place I could finally be myself,” Nadia shares, “I had to follow my joy, even if it felt like the whole world was against me.”




Breaking Free: The Making of “I’d Rather Be Alone”


Nadia’s latest single, “I’d Rather Be Alone,” encapsulates her journey of strength, healing, and independence. The song was born from a painful experience of betrayal and public bullying, which Nadia faced with courage and grace. “I felt like I had been thrown into a lion’s den with no protection,” she reflects. “The only way out was to revisit those dark moments, process them, and come out stronger.”


The song marked a turning point for Nadia, both personally and professionally. She crafted a track that speaks to the power of standing on your own, no matter the circumstances. In the music video, which Nadia co-directed alongside Jerry Brunskill, she pays homage to one of her favorite films, Back to the Future, symbolizing her own time-travel journey of healing and transformation.


The video, filled with symbolic imagery, was Nadia’s way of visually representing her journey of overcoming the past. “Co-directing was a dream come true,” she says. “It allowed me to take control of my story in a new way, to show how you can move from pain into power.”




The Message Nadia Wants to Share


Nadia’s message is simple: follow your joy, even when the world is against you, and know that anything is possible. "Life brings challenges, but staying true to yourself and having faith will get you through."

Nadia’s journey reflects resilience, faith, and music's transformative power. From her small town roots in Italy to the big screen with some of Hollywood’s biggest names, Nadia has defied the odds, guided by a belief in something greater.


For her, music and film is more than entertainment—it’s a lifeline, a way to inspire others through their struggles, just as it once did for her.
