Born in Rome and raised in Umbria, Greta Panettieri began her musical career as a six-year-old playing the violin, the instrument that she studied at Conservatory Francesco Morlacchi of Perugia for the next 10 years. She also studied piano and vocals. In 1994 Greta won a scholarship to attend the prestigious Berklee College of Music. Boston.

Instead of going to Boston on scholarship, Panettieri decided to stay in New York City after arriving from Italy. She started singing in several clubs, with different styles, from the most traditional to the most experimental, performing with jazz groups but also Latin, Funk, R&B and Bossa Nova. Singing different musical genres allowed her to learn both English and Portuguese. In 2004 she founded "Greta's Bakery", along with Italian pianist Andrea Sammartino, American bassist Mike La Valle.
Today she is back in Rome. Still touring Europe and also teaching Jazz at the finest Universities.
