Irene Rugiero studied in Ferrara; after attending the Frescobaldi Conservatory with a focus on jazz vocals, she moved to Turin in 2018, where she took part as a contestant in The Voice of Italy 2019, performing a duet with Marco Castoldi, known as Morgan.

She has participated in numerous jazz-influenced music and cultural events, performing alongside acclaimed artists such as double bassist Roberto Bartoli, and was a finalist for the MEI 2024 Rimini Music Contest.

As a singer-songwriter, she appeared on the October 23rd episode of Nuovo Roxy Bar, where she was interviewed by Red Ronnie.

She has also been involved in various recording projects: Acer rubrum with Andrea De Marco, as well as collaborations with Ivorian singers and musicians such as Semah and Moroko Zokou Albert.

On January 24th, she released her third single with Miraloop, titled Caduta Libera.

Caduta Libera, the new single by Irene Rugiero, captures in music a powerful vision of modern humanity—bridging African and soul influences, rhythm and energy—delivered through a stunning vocal performance.

"The inspiration came during a yoga class, when the teacher, known for thought-provoking questions, asked us: “What do you think the human being is going through right now?”
Free fall, she answered. That was the spark—goosebumps down my spine and a fire in my heart. I knew I had to write a song.
A song addressed to society, one that speaks about how “hyperconnected” we are, yet disconnected from our own souls, from our innermost nature—and how we are losing ourselves.
The reference to Jesus in the chorus is meant as a metaphor: as if we had “killed” that wisdom, those qualities that make us human, trading them for the arrogance of playing God—even to the point of manipulating DNA."
