Planet Funk are an Italian band whose members are based in Naples and Florence. Their music fuses house music with electro, funk and rock. In 2003 their debut album ‘Non Zero Sumness’ won three major music awards in Italy: best band, best newcomer and best dance act. The album was released worldwide and many live events followed, from clubs to massive festivals, to broadcasts on national radio and TV and MTV.
Sally got involved after they heard her work on the internet in 2001. They invited her to Naples to co-write and record three songs for the debut album. “I was really thrilled to be invited to collaborate. I wasn’t sure how it would turn out because of the stylistic contrasts between us. I was a bit worried that I would feel like a session singer and have to fit in, but I didn’t at all. I was encouraged to be myself and not to lose sight of my style. The result is really inspiring.” —Sally Doherty, 2002 Sally was also invited to be a featured artist/writer on the follow up album ‘The Illogical Consequence’ in 2005.
