"EMPTY" presentazione del singolo di Juicy Raffy

The First Prize, offered by the renowned Bari pub, will be presented on March 7, 2025, at 7:30 PM at Joy’s Pub in Bari, and awarded to Juicy Raffy as the winner of the 5th edition of the competition “Una Voce Da Pub”. After the conference, the artist will perform the song live in a short acoustic showcase.

The contest, which originated and took place in the historic Bari pub, aims to select and reward new artists in the region, particularly those most suited to perform and engage with the patrons of an Irish pub. The prize is the recording of a single at Exit Music Records Bari, this year in the form of an original song. Written by Juicy Raffy together with Fabio Prota, the event's lead conductor and the artistic producer of the recording project, it is titled Empty. Born from an Instagram story by Juicy Raffy herself, the song features lyrics crafted and shaped to be sung over a track where rock echoes from the 70s to the 90s can be recognized.

Juicy Raffy (aka Raffaella Piscitelli) is a 23-year-old artist with roots in Bari and a heart that beats to the rhythm of music. After seven years of study at the Accademia Unika in Bari, she set off for Milan, where she refined her skills at M.A.S. (Music Arts & Show) and where she currently lives and works. Shy and introverted in life, yet explosive and magnetic on stage, she feels like a fish out of water that finds its element in singing, finally feeling at home on stage. During the 5th edition of “Una Voce Da Pub,” she showcased both her personas, Juicy Raffy and Raffaella, discovering that their coexistence represents her distinctive trait, thus transforming her duality into a unique and powerful artistic expression.

For the first time in the contest’s history, Joy’s Pub becomes not only a talent incubator but also an executive producer, embodied by Marco Protano, the owner and creator of the event. The song will be available from midnight on March 7, 2025, on all streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) and digital music platforms. Those who decide to purchase the song, particularly on iTunes Store, will have the opportunity to download the digital booklet, which includes the full lyrics and official credits.

Joy’s Pub is not only the first Irish pub in Bari but has always been an expressive laboratory, a place of experimentation. The concept of a PUBlic House is experienced by friends who frequent this historic venue as a meeting point, open to the most diverse artistic and creative proposals. This is why the idea of self-promotion within the same space was born, to share moments of music and art with all friends, including those who do not yet know about this historic reality.
