About Me

hi! i'm a bass player born in varese in 1981 (year of the rooster.. i guess), but my real awakening was in 1994!, when i listened to vitalogy (pearl jam) for the very first time. after that astonishing wonderful day i was born for the second time and i knew i was a musician.i discovered i'm a bass player when i tried to play a bass in a shop and i understood i could explain myself better with with that instrument than with words. so i started playing in a lot of bands (NEVER a cover band)and a lot of different genres, from soul music to grind-core, but i always had an addiction to FUNK ROCK style. hell yeah.so i tried to walk that way.. but i've been doomed. i started to have troubles with wrists, very big troubles, so i had to quit. after a period of time spent wasting every single day of my life, i finally found the strength i needed to try again, so now it's just a matter of time, i know it's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n roll, but i'm not afraid, i have a lot of faith in myself, in my spirit, in my flesh, in my bones, in my wrists, in my bass and in my friends. keep on rockin' in the free world!!!! -Mitch.
