About Me

Born in Naples in 1984, as an imposition on my parents, I started to play piano at the age of seven, than I moved on to violin, bass and finally, at the age of fourteen, the guitar! Even though I consider myself self-taught, I've studied with the best Italian Musicians/Teachers as Gennaro Cerzosimo, Carlo Fimiani, William Stravato, Alex Stornello, Luca Chiaramonte, Maurizio Villa, Pietro Condorelli.
In 2004 I passed an exam in "Teoria & Solfeggio" (which literally means Theory & Reading) at the "Conservatory of Music of Salerno".
In 2005 I moved to L.A. where I attended the Musicians Institute of Hollywood, studying with Scott Henderson, Ross Bolton, Daniel Gilbert, Matt Baldoni, Jamie Findlay, Al Bonhomme and Keith Wyatt.
Right now I'm accomplishing a major in "Jazz" at the "Conservatory of Music of Naples", producing video lessons for GuitarMasterClass.net, teaching privately, in local schools, for guitargetaways.com events and on-line with Skype, while maintaining a busy schedule of live gigs in different bands.
