The Female Guitarist Who Inspired Lari Basilio

In this exclusive interview recorded at Spoleto Jazz 2025, world-renowned guitarist Lari Basilio reflects on her journey as a woman in the music industry. She discusses the initial lack of female representation in the guitar world and how seeing Jennifer Batten (lead guitarist for Michael Jackson) perform was a pivotal turning point for her career.

Lari emphasizes that passion is the ultimate driver for any musician, regardless of gender. Her mission is to continue breaking barriers and inspiring young girls to pick up the electric guitar and express their unique voices.

Visioninmusica brings you behind the scenes of the most influential artists in the contemporary jazz and rock scene.
