Started my project called DIVA
I was born 20 october 1975 in Salento (South of Italy), a magical place where the sun meets winds and seas, where purple wine burns the veins... Singer since I was child, I started playing classical piano at 11-years-old and graduated with fif year. In 1996 the bass jumped in my life and I loved it by my own for years and years playing Tony Levin, Geddy Lee, Jaco, Billy Sheehan and many more. Finding my way I moved to Milan, Turin, Bologna and finally to Rome, inside the ancient walls between Colosseum and S. John, where I'm having projects and collaborations in one of the best place for my music creation and songwriting. ROCK!!!
