About Me

I started playing music at 11 years old, taking classic guitar lessons for about 3 years. Back then I was not really motivated and when my teacher left the school I decided to stop. After some years I started again trying to play songs from a song book of Edoardo Bennato, which was not so easy because I could not play chords very well. This motivated me to take more lessons, and I took electric guitar as well as acoustic guitar lessons for several years, and I still play electric and acoustic guitar with the same passion. I started being interested in jazz because I was fascinated by the richness and complexity of this music. I must admit that it took me many years before I could understand and even more years before I could play it a bit. I still want to study jazz further, while I keep on playing rock and ballads the way I learned them in more than 15 years of playing. Most of the bands I played in are almost unknown, except for some local gigs: USL, Mucho Mas,and some other bands that did not even have a name. Funny to mention, I played bass with Luci ferme long before they became famous. From 2002 till 2005 I have played in the Netherlands with the Spanish singer Atreya , to whom I wish all the luck for her career.I am currently playing with a trio, Le vie della seta ( the Silk Roads ). I am also playing in two other duos with Nadia, a Dutch singer and with Sebastiano, an Italian singer/actor. Check performances in the Concert section.
