Getting to know Veronica Fusaro
Swiss-born artist Veronica Fusaro recently released her latest single, Slot Machine. We asked her to tell us about herself:
I am… Veronica Fusaro, a singer, songwriter and musician with a deep love for music that has been a big part of my life since I was young. I grew up in Thun, a small city in Switzerland in a half Swiss, half Italian household—maybe that’s where my love for food comes from. I am currently in a very happy place mentally, I am very happy and grateful that I get to do what I love doing the most as my job. And I am very looking forward to my second album and everything that’s gonna happen around it.
2024 has so far been… very great! Exciting. Sometimes a bit of a rollercoaster. But overall, very good. I’ve had the chance to play shows across Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Singapore, and Switzerland, with London coming up soon. Working on my second album has been a highlight; I’m really enjoying the process of creating a world around the thoughts and stories in my songs.
To me, Slot Machine is… about the pixel-perfect world created by social media and the way it shapes how we think and live. I describe the emptiness and dissatisfaction that comes from constant consumption – never truly making me happy. The song is a cry for deeper meaning in a world shaped by both abstract and literal superficiality. This was the first song I wrote for my second album, and it marked the end of a long writer’s block—so it feels especially rewarding to have written it and now share it with the world as the first chapter of my new album!
Home is… where pieces of my heart are: Thun, my hometown in Switzerland where my family is; Calabria, in the south of Italy, where my grandma lives; and wherever my closest people are. Each place holds special memories and a sense of belonging.
I spend too much time… on the phone.
I’ve never… been bungee jumping and I don’t intend to either. I’m good with my feet on the ground.
