About Me

.... ..I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
..I'm an Italian composer and producer. I'm a Keyboardist, FretlessBass Player and a Chapman Grand Stick player. My troubles with the music started about 25 years ago when i've decided to stop the Conservatory-Classical-Studies to try out the crazy world of rock and pop :) Ive played with many bands and differents projects....from Metal to Funk, from experimental ensembles to classic rock acts... Ive recorded 5 albums with MOONGARDEN, 1 album with SUBMARINE SILENCE, 2 solo albums and played in others artists albums as well.... Ive played with JOHN WETTON in many gigs as Keyboard and Chapman Grand Stick player and recorded with him some unreleased tracks. In summer 2008 Ive worked also with MASSIMO ZAMBONI (CCCP, CSI) on his last tour called "L'inerme è l'imbattibile" wich was absolutley a delightful experience! In Jan 2009, me and Gigi Cavalli Cocchi have founded a record label called DISTILLERIA Music-Factory!! In March 2009 Ive joined MANGALA VALLIS as Keyboard Player. Actually Im workin with Gigi Cavalli Cocchi (CSI, Ligabue, Mangala vallis, Massimo Zamboni etc..) on a completely new project and many other things beside a new MOONGARDEN album, a new MANGALA VALLIS DVD, 1984 (feat John Wetton on vocals) and many other things.....
