Extensive Biography
Jéssica Di Falchi is a Brazilian heavy metal guitar virtuoso born in Monte Alto, São Paulo. A dedicated musician from a young age, she formally studied guitar at the prestigious Souza Lima Conservatory in Ribeirão Preto. Building a formidable professional reputation on the Brazilian live circuit since 2015, she gained widespread acclaim performing with prominent tribute acts including the Metallica tribute band Hardwired and the all-female Iron Maiden tribute project Iron Ladies, as well as backing elite heavy metal icons at premier domestic festivals.
Her career reached an international milestone in May 2022, when she stepped in as a touring guitarist ("sidewoman") for the internationally acclaimed all-female Brazilian death metal powerhouse Crypta to handle major global tours, including high-profile festival slots at Wacken Open Air and Rock in Rio. Following her explosive live performances and immediate creative synergy with founders Fernanda Lira and Luana Dametto, Di Falchi was welcomed as an official permanent member in October 2022.
As Crypta's lead guitarist, Di Falchi brought her aggressive, technically precise riffing and dark melodic flair to the forefront, co-writing and recording the band's critically acclaimed sophomore studio album, Shades of Sorrow (2023). Her relentless touring schedule, intricate technical playthroughs, and commanding stage presence established her as a defining force in modern extreme metal before she departed the band to pursue new artistic chapters.
