About Me

The story started in 1990, when my father bought me a Bontempi keyboard. In a few months, my need was so big that he was obliged to change this present into a Yamaha...my two first keys...
In 1990 I started to sing in a children choir. I sang there until I was "able to be a man": it was 1992, and I meet Martin that asked me to play in Ossi Duri
With these guys I play around the Europe, with a lot of myths of my childness (Ike Willis, Mike Keneally, Napoleon "Murphy" Brock, Elio and Rocco Tanica from Elio e le storie tese, David Surkamp from Pavlov's Dog..) and I do it today. I play keyboards, harmonica, kazoo and I sing there. We have many show behind us, but the ones in front of are always the best and the funniest. We do, sometimes, some Frank Zappa's tribute, but we have our music and we want to conquer the world...:-) If you want to know more, visite the site or go to www.myspace.com/ossiduri
For ten years my musical life was strictly connected to FZ and OD, but came a day when I met Manu, that is my woman, and my musical world exploded. A friend of her, Luca, is a guitar player and asked me to substitue his keys player for a pair of show. Then this keys player moved to France for work and I take his place. I started to play in Karisma.
We played some italian pop/rock, our songs and covers. Now we have stopped our production after a Tim Tour festival in Turin; a show as guests with Keith Emerson (from Emerson,Lake & Palmer); a song named "Il Calciobalilla" that was the official anthem of International Table Soccer Federation. We have just stopped but we have loved that times.
In this time I change my instrument and I buy a Roland, another Yamaha and THE dream,the Roland AX-7
This was my dream when I was a little boy, and now I have it...I bought it for a theater swow, named E4, that was a great rappresentation of the four elements of nature, with original songs and cover for humanize the nature...I was the Fire..
The day after we have another show in the same theater, a show with original songs composed inspired from Tolkien's "The Silmarillion". It was a Luca's dream to compose music inspired by Toliken and from this show were born Ainur
We are 18 elements (guitar, drums, bass, 5 singers, 2 keys, harp, violin, viola, cello, horn, flute, clarinet and a lyrics writer) and we have planned 10 CD to describe all "The Silmarillion". We have just finished the second and we are approching to start the third. Sometimes we also play in some theaters in Italy. www.myspace.com/firstborn2006
In the summer of 2004 Luca, his brother Marco and I had a journey. We have travelled to Sweden, by car, and we've stopped in many European square to play some music and earn some €...we've played, yes...but not much money...:-) So I learn to play acoustic guitar, and I'm still learning, but the very important thing is what this journey made in our person: we started to create groups and now we are involved in a lot of reality. The first group that we have started is named 3ontheroad. It is a country group where I play the bass and some acoustic guitar. We play the same tracklist of the journey, with some variation. Now we are tinking to take a violin player and come back to perform in Europe.
The second one is a tribute to Evanescence, where I play the keyboards and we perform live all their album "Fallen", from what the name of the group. Unfortunately this group had no longer life, and we leave this project after just 3 concert. The third travel-born-group, and the most active for now, is named Force.
It was born as a Europe tribute band and we took this name from the first mark of the swedish group. Now we are also preparing other 80's hits from Queen, Bon Jovi, Gun's,ecc. to become also an Eighties tribute. In this group I sing and together with Luca I play acoustic and electric guitar. Few moments ago the keys player was changed and entered in the group my woman, Manu, that is a great piano player. We have performed in the Emirates and in Italy and we're going to come back live.
Then comes the Maiden Italy.We are an Iron Maiden Tribute Band. We're still working in studio to built a tracklist, but we're almost ready for the live music!!! I sing here, and Luca & Marco always play with me...Soon more info!!! UP THE IRONS!!!
And what about the Pericolo Genetico???
We play some disco-dance music from 70's, 80'2 & 90's and we are really funny! You can dance and sing with us! Here I play the keys again, but now I think I'll start also to sing something. In this band there isn't Luca, Marco or some Ossi Duri's member, but sing with me an Ainur's singer, Elena. And with Elena I start to built an our project, with our words and our music. We haven't a name yet, but soon we'll decide it and we start to compose some great music.
So this is my musical life. I hope you can live the music like I live and love it like I love, 'cause if you can...
GREAT!
