Carolina Bubbico is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, arranger, and conductor, active on both the Italian and international music scenes. She has performed at major festivals, clubs, and theaters, including the Blue Note in Tokyo and Beijing with Nicola Conte. She has taken part in three editions of the Sanremo Festival as arranger and conductor: for Elodie (Big 2023), for Serena Brancale and Il Volo, who won the edition she worked on, and in 2026 for Ditonellapiaga.
She released her debut album Controvento at the age of 23, a project entirely written and arranged by her and welcomed with enthusiasm by critics and audiences. Several tracks were featured in the soundtrack of Francesca Muci’s film L’amore è imperfetto, in which Carolina also appears. Two more albums followed: Una donna (2015) and Il dono dell’ubiquità (2020).
Over the years she has published numerous singles and collaborations, including Quanto ti voglio (2022), Terronda with Cristiana Verardo and special guest Tosca (2022), Portami a ballare (2023), Nina (2024) with a music video by Dario Acocella, and Mangia la mela (2025), written and performed with Erica Mou and produced with the support of the Puglia Region’s Welfare Department.
Her fourth album, Vocàlia, will be released in April 2026 on the American label GroundUP Music, founded by Michael League.
In 2023 she toured Il dono dell’ubiquità on renowned stages such as Time in Jazz, Blue Note Milano, and Auditorium Parco della Musica. Her live performances stand out for their blend of musical languages: danceable grooves, intimate songs, world-inspired colors, a balance between acoustic and electronic textures, and original reinterpretations of Italian and international repertoire.
Alongside her work as a recording artist, she develops orchestral projects and commissioned works. In 2023 she arranged and conducted the Earth Wind & Fire Experience for The Brass Group at the Sicilia Jazz Festival, presenting the first-ever concert by the iconic American band with a Big Band in Italy. She is also the creator of Pangea, a symphonic project exploring dialogue between musical cultures, premiered with the OLES Orchestra (2019), later presented with the Banda di Ruvo di Puglia at the 2023 Talos Festival, and in 2024 in three performances with the Orchestra della Magna Grecia.
She collaborates with Hal Leonard as a music transcriber for artists including Måneskin, Stromae, Marco Mengoni, Niccolò Fabi, Dardust, and, in 2026 Rosalía. She teaches Pop Singing at the “Tito Schipa” Conservatory in Lecce.
