Luck Is When Preparation Meets Opportunity

About Me

I started playing guitar when i was 9, my first guitar was a classical guitar bought in a supermarket for around 50£.. At the age of 13 a friend gave me a tape with Iron Maiden on the A side and AC/DC on the B side, and I fell in love with the sound of distorted guitars. I began playing in my first band at the age of 16 in a friend’s basement, two guitars, a singer with no microphone and a drummer with no drums.. he was beating on two dustbins.. that was fun!! At 21 I started playing in cover bands in northern Italy and in 1997 I moved to London where I got a diploma at the Guitar Institute and completed a BA Hons in Music Performance. I play in bands, acoustic duos and accompany various artists. I love teaching electric and acoustic guitar, pretty much any style and I write my own compositions in my little home studio. I might even complete an album of original songs sooner or later.. keep checking my page!!Ciao!
