Double THumb (aka Val Del Prete) is a singer, songwriter, producer and sound engineer. Born in Italy, her musical talent was evident when she was just 3 years old and she could already play the piano by ear and sing with perfect pitch. Her music is at the one time sensual and melancholic, ethereal and raw, always characterized by complex and heart-felt lyrics, haunting vocal layers and ambient sounds.

"I think MUSIC IS ABOUT HAVING SOMETHING TO SAY, and to say it clear and loud. I hate what is going on in the music industry nowadays. There are too few credible artists and too many disposable pretty puppets in the hands of 1 or 2 producers. I don't try to conform to their criteria to be just a manifactured product. I have to be myself, or I won't be at all".

Double THumb is currently working at her debut album, to be released soon. Several tracks have already been played on BBC Radio 6, XFM, 103theeye.co.uk, Cygnusradio.com, Generationmix.co.uk, Tinternetradio.com, Ventureradio.co.uk, Carillonradio.com and Blogtalkradio.com. Live she is accompanied by violin player Agata Kubiak, keyboard player Frank Fronte, backing vocalist Ilona Opulska and bass player/percussionist Alex Praill.
