About Me

Want this badge?
Want this badge?HI EVERYBODY! I’m a bass player from Mantova, North Italy. This is a little short biography...well, I began to study music when I was only 8 years old...I was playing the clarinet since 14 years . In this period I studied very much classical music and just a few of jazz; after this I began to study very well the bass guitar with Mario Marcassa, a great jazz bass player and teacher from Rovigo. I studied with him for 4 years and so I studied rock style, hyper slap and polyphonic tapping with Giorgio "JT" Terenziani for other 3 years. At last, in the 2005, I began to attend the Modern Music Academy "Lizard" of Fiesole (FI) under the great guide of Roberto Galli... Now I’m studing advanced slap tecniques and latin jazz style with Roberto Pascucci.I play, morover, with 3 different groups...In the 2002 I entered in the prog-rock band MOONGARDEN (www.moongardenweb.com) and in the 2004 I recorded my first album with the band, "ROUND MIDNIGHT". This album in the 2005 was classified "12th World’s Best Prog Album" by the Dutch website ProgWereld. In the spring of 2006 we did a promo tour in Italy, Finland, Nederlands and Belgium. Now it’s ready our new work, "SONGS FROM THE LIGHTHOUSE" with three new elements, Marco Tafelli (guitars) - Simone Baldini Tosi (vocals) and Maurizio Di Tollo (drums); and last but not the least ;) the great keyboard, chapman stick player Cristiano Roversi. The album is produced by the American label ProgRock Records and distribuited by the major label SPV.I play also with another group, LIQUID FUNK (www.liquidfunk.it). It’s a funk band with wonderful elements like Alessio Garavello - vocals (Power Quest and Arthemis), Paolo Perazzani - drums (Arthemis), Stefano Perini at the keyboards and Alessandro Mingardo at the guitars! Let’s Funk your Soul!!!I’’m also very active in the music teaching profession in some public and private schools...the most important is the Modern Music Institute (MMI) where I teach harmony, electric bass and music modern music history...Let’s Groove your Soul!!!!
