Hello everybody and welcome on my Space page!!
My name is Giovanni, born in Savona on 12th april, 1986.
In March 2009 I graduated in Comunication at Genova University.
In 2007 I achieved Solfeggio & Music theory licence at Paganini Conservatory in Genova, I'm accomplishing classical piano studies with Gabriele Gentile and keyboard and synthesis studies with Paolo Bolio (Custodie Cautelari, Gotthard, Cirque du soleil).
Currently I'm keyboardist for Eazy Skankers and pianist for the Utopia Jazz Quartet.
With Eazy Skankers I had the opportunity to play on very important stages as Arezzo Wave Love Festival (Main Stage, 2006), Goa Boa Festival (2007), Bornasco Reggae Festival (2005), Balla coi cinghiali (2008), and I have been supporter for big artists such as "the King of ska" Desmond Dekker, Sinead O'Connor, Gogol Bordello, Giuliano Palma & the Bluebeaters, Junior Kelly, Meg, Cocoa Tea, Turbulence, Culcha Candela and more.
In february 2008 we had a journey to Kingston, Jamaica to record our album "To the foundation" in legendary Tuff Gong Studios. The album, recorded and mixed by Roland McDermott, contains combinations with Michael Rose, Lutan Fyah and Perfect.

Ciao a tutti e benvenuti sul mio Space!!
Mi chiamo Giovanni (Gianni, Gian, Xanji, a piacere... =P), nato il 12/04/1986 in quel di Savona.
Mi sono laureato in corso, nel marzo 2009, in Scienze della Comunicazione.
Nel 2007 ho conseguito la licenza di teoria e solfeggio presso il Conservatorio Paganini di Genova, studio pianoforte con il maestro Gabriele Gentile e tastiere con Paolo Bolio (Custodie Cautelari, Gotthard, Cirque du soleil).
Attualmente sono tastierista degli Eazy Skankers e pianista dell'Utopia Jazz Quartet.
Con gli Eazy Skankers ho avuto opportunità di suonare su palchi importanti come quello dell'Arezzo Wave Love Festival (Main Stage, 2006), Goa Boa Festival (2007), Bornasco Reggae Festival (2005), Balla coi cinghiali (2008), e mi sono trovato a dividere il palco con big artists quali "the King of ska" Desmond Dekker, Sinead O'Connor, Gogol Bordello, Giuliano Palma & the Bluebeaters, Junior Kelly, Meg, Cocoa Tea, Turbulence, Culcha Candela ed altri.
Nel febbraio 2008 ci siamo recati a Kingston, Jamaica per registrare l'album "To the foundation" presso i leggendari Tuff Gong Studios. Il disco, registrato e mixato da Roland McDermott, contiene collaborazioni con Michael Rose, Lutan Fyah and Perfect.
