About Me

real editor best profile tools real editor best profile tools
Hi...I was born in Cagliari, Sardinia on the 17th of June 1972, my grandfather was a cello player and probably the first music for my ears was classic. When I was 6 my parents moved to Brasil, and I vaguely remember bossanova that my parents used to listen to. I started to play piano and cello when I was 11 and then I turned to electric bass, playing with different rock and pop bands.
Some years later I started to listen to jazz music and when I was 26 I started studying doublebass.
...I’ve always played, written and listened to many musical genres; in the meantime I studied geology at Cagliari University where I got the Degree in 1998; afterwards I moved to London where I studied geology at Imperial College.
...in 2000 I decided to dedicate my efforts and time to music only, first studying with private teachers and then applying to the Cagliari Conservatory where I studied doublebass and composition.
I attended jazz masterclasses in Nuoro and Siena and collaborated with many musicians in jazz, classical, pop-rock and ethnic music. With some of them I recorded several projects.
In 2004 I gained the first prize Sardinia International Composition Competition with the composition "Scherzo" for doublebass solo.
In July 2007 I got the Degree in Classic Doublebass at Cagliari Conservatory.
In January 2008 I moved to London and...here I am.
