She has worked with prominent Italian songwriters such as Pino Daniele, Ivano Fossati, Mario Lavezzi, Mango and Enrico Ruggeri, among others; her sister Mia Martini was also an acclaimed singer.

Bertè was born in Bagnara Calabra, Province of Reggio Calabria, in Southern Italy,[1] the third of four daughters, three years after her sister Domenica.

In 1970 Loredana and her sister Domenica, who had by then changed her name to Mia Martini, performed as backing vocalists for Chico Buarque de Holanda.

While Martini would consequently start a successful music career, recording songs like "Piccolo uomo" and "Minuetto", Loredana continued to pursue theatre.

Fossati produced the single "E la luna bussò", which is considered one of the early minstream reggae songs in Italy.

In the early 2000s Loredana returned to theatre, performing with Carla Fracci in "Gerusalemme" at the Baths of Caracalla in Rome.

[4] Bertè's song "J'adore Venise" was included in Luca Guadagnino's Oscar-winning film's soundtrack, Call Me By Your Name (2017).

In 2018 she topped the Italian charts again with "Non ti dico no", a song made in collaboration with the reggae dancehall band Boomdabash.

She competed in the Sanremo Music Festival 2024 with the song "Pazza",[5][6] finishing in seventh place but being awarded the Critics' prize, named after her sister Mia Martini.
