I’m Not A Blonde is an Italian-American duo based in Milano. Chiara Castello and Camilla Matley write electro-art-pop songs that bring together their many different influences: beats and synths from the 80s, brit-punk guitars and melodies from the 90s to create a unique world of their own. Their music and live performances are based on a blend of the 2 different personalities: Camilla is an architect that loves a rigorous, sleek style, while Chiara who studied art, prefers to include a bit of noise and disorder around her. Their musical world reflects a desire to find a balance between different aspects of experiences and perceptions including humor vs melancholy, minimalism vs art-pop, digital vs analog, lightness vs seriousness. 

They released their first album “Introducing I’m Not A Blonde” in 2016 via the Italian label Inri/Metatron. “The Blonde Album”(Inri) came out in 2018 followed by “Under The Rug” (Inri/Backseat) in 2019.

Camilla and Chiara enjoy playing live and this is reflected in their direct and powerful duo performance. On stage they create their songs with loops that overlap musical structures. Voices, guitars and synths add up to create a sound that fills the area giving the feeling of a full band.

During the past years they've toured Europe taking part in important music festivals. They’ve shared stages with international artists like Duran Duran, Moderat, Soulwax, Peaches, Hurts and Ghostpoet.
