DONNA MACIOCIA

Donna Maciocia (ma-chaw-cha) is an Edinburgh based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist blessed with a stunningly unique voice. Her influences range from Michael Jackson to Rachmaninov, making her a little difficult to categorise, so to watch her live is to see Donna at her best. A one woman juggernaut of sound, known to single handedly layer vocals, piano, guitars and beat boxing along with the sounds of a ukulele and kazoo.
