Singing to Serpents is a genre-fluid, deeply personal body of work that showcases Cello’s unique ability to blur the lines between music, spoken word, and emotional storytelling. Drawing inspiration from personal mythology and life’s most vulnerable moments, the album invites listeners into a sonic landscape where each song serves as both confession and catharsis.
A seasoned actor and published poet, Marcello Valletta has long used storytelling as a creative and personal outlet. Under the name Cello, he transforms lived experience into evocative music that balances raw emotion with artistic sophistication. The new album continues that tradition, offering nine tracks that explore themes of transformation, faith, emotional struggle, healing, and personal growth. Rather than offering tidy conclusions, Singing to Serpents embraces honesty and connection, allowing listeners to find their own meaning within the music.
