Alessia De Gasperis Steps Into Her Most Personal Chapter Yet

With "Evergreen" out now, Alessia opens up about creative freedom, family, and why the quiet moments deserve our attention.

A New Chapter That Feels Like Home

After years of building an impressive career as both a songwriter and vocalist, she's stepping into a chapter that belongs entirely to her. It's one shaped by curiosity instead of expectation, by slowing down instead of rushing ahead, and by creating without worrying where the music is supposed to fit. As she told us, "This music is fully mine... it's just more me in every way."

That sense of ownership runs through everything she's creating.

Finding Beauty in the Everyday

Her newest single, "Evergreen," released yesterday, offers another glimpse into the world she's building ahead of her upcoming EP. Warm, reflective, and deeply personal, the song captures many of the ideas that surfaced throughout our conversation: gratitude, nostalgia, and learning to appreciate life exactly as it is instead of constantly reaching for what's next. If you haven't listened yet, Evergreen is a beautiful place to begin.

Throughout our interview, Alessia returned to one idea again and again: presence.

Her forthcoming EP grew out of a season where she began finding gratitude in the ordinary rather than waiting for life's biggest moments to arrive. Instead of chasing the next milestone, she's learning to appreciate what's already in front of her.

As she shared with us, "Most of life lives in those moments. In the in between, and life is so precious and fleeting."

Creating Without Limits

That perspective has also changed the way she approaches making music.

Learning to produce her own work has opened new creative doors, allowing her to hear an idea and bring it to life on her own terms. Just as importantly, she's become more comfortable trusting herself instead of trying to fit into expectations.

"I've learned I don't like being put in a box at all," she told us. "This music is one season, the next will be completely different. I want to keep people on their toes and I need to stay free to create whatever I want."

Even after years of writing and recording, Alessia says she's still learning, still growing, and still embracing imperfections. That willingness to evolve is what makes this era feel so compelling.

Our Conversation with Alessia

We recently had the opportunity to catch up with Alessia to talk about this exciting new chapter and everything that has shaped it along the way. From finding the confidence to release music entirely on her own terms to learning how to slow down and appreciate life's quieter moments, our conversation explored the experiences that continue to influence both her artistry and her perspective. We also discussed the inspiration behind her upcoming EP, the memories of family that continue to guide her creative process, what producing her own music has unlocked creatively, and why she hopes listeners leave these songs with a greater appreciation for the beauty found in everyday life.

Be sure to spend some time with "Evergreen." It's a beautifully crafted release that feels both timeless and fresh, making it a standout introduction to the world Alessia is building with this upcoming EP. It's a strong single that leaves us even more excited for what's still to come.
