Sara Persico is a Berlin-based, Naples born sound artist, vocalist & DJ.

Persico cut her teeth experimenting on the fringes of Naples's fiery underground scene, while finishing her academic music studies and developing a technique that would integrate her voice with analogue electronics, field recordings, and samples. She presented her music in festival and venues like Ballroom Blitz Beirut, CTM Festival, Codex Club, documenta fifteen, Ormside Projects, Dancity Festival, Radical DB, among others.


As an improviser and performer, she has collaborated with a wide spectrum of artists, joining Evelyn Saylor’s vocal ensemble for Caterina Barbieri’s acclaimed “light- years” show at Rewire Festival and London’s Southbank Centre, and performed alongside Elvin Brandhi, The Ex’s Andy Moor, Tony Elieh, Ludwig Wandinger, Dirar Kalash and many others.

As a fearless DJ, Persico straddles vastly different worlds, offering just as much attention to abstract electronic sounds as she does bass-heavy club music, noise, and vocal experiments. She’s currently a resident on Bethlehem’s Radio Alhara.

All this energy radiates from her solo debut “Boundary” (2023) released by the prestigious German imprint Karlrecords. Her expressive vocals play a central role, but her command of precisely sculpted electronic textures and dynamic rhythmic structures is just as crucial to the experience. Deconstructed beats, experimental voice, harmonic music, distorted rhythms craft a dense introspective work that explores intimately the boundaries of the self.
