Biography

Thony was born in Sicily by an Italian father and a Polish mother. She moved to Rome in 2002 to study singing and music; After a few years of solo live performances, she started in 2009 a collaboration with the band Jobi 4, resulting in the publication of an EP and an LP.

After these experiences she decided to focus on the solo album, With the Green in My Mouth, produced in 2010 with Stefano Mariani (sound editor) and published on the web only in 2011.[1] Thanks to this record, the Italian movie director Paolo Virzì contacted her to work on the soundtrack of his movie upcoming film Every Blessed Day[2] (Italian: Tutti i santi giorni, 2012).[3] During the beginning of the filming, Virzì decided to offer her also the leading female role,[4] [5] together with Luca Marinelli.[6] She was nominated in 2013 for David di Donatello for Best Actress (Italian: David di Donatello per la migliore attrice protagonista). She published in 2012 the album Birds[7] [8] with the collaborations of Leonardo Milani, Zsuzsanna Krazsnai, and Andrea Ruggiero, and produced by herself. The song Flowers Blossom is awarded with the Ciak d'oro in June 2013 for best original song.[9]

In 2016 she was announced to be part of a new band called "Malihini" and signed with the London label Memphis Industries
