About Me

I'm a guy from Gorizia - Italy, addicted to Heavy Metal and music in general.Actually, I'm the vocalist and frontman of the Hard'n'Heavy italian band "OVERTURES". With them I have a CD, Beyond the waterfall, out in Italy and on iTunes, released by the label Videoradio, with whom I signed in May 2007.I'm also the vocalist of "RAIN", Deep Purple Official Italian tribute band, with whom Ian Paice himself played a couple of times.I'm actually studying modern singing with Michele Luppi (Vision Divine, Mr.Pig) and I'm studying Musical, Artistic and Performing Arts at the University of UdineI was born in Gorizia (Italy) on April 12th 1985. In 1992 I started to attend the courses of "Classical Piano", "Chorus Singing" and "Musical Theory" at the Academy of music "Città di Gorizia" taught respectively by masters Riccardo Radivo and Gianni del Zotto. After 4 years I changed my teacher of "Musical Theory" and I started to take lessons from Daniela Brussolo. In 2000 I decided to give up studying because of personal matters and I started to play "Rhythm and Electric Guitar" as a self-taught. In 2003, after having joined the Hard'n'Heavy band "OVERTURES", I resumed my studies at the Roland® Music School of Gorizia attending the "Modern and Jazz Singing" course, taught by Irene Peljihan, and the "Musical Theory" course, taught by Patrick Magnarin. In 2003 and 2004 I am the lead voice of the trash-metal band "HAMMERED". From 2004 to 2006 I figured as lead voice and rhythm guitarist in the heavy-metal band "MINDBLAST". In 2004 I got diploma in "Musical Theory" at the "Giuseppe Tartini" Academy of music of Trieste. In 2004 I started to attend the "Complementary Harmony" course at the Roland® Music School with Patrick Magnarin. Both in 2006 and 2007 I'm awarded as "best vocalist" at the "Mastro Rock" contest in San Giovanni al Natisone (UD). In 2007 I have also attended a "Modern Singing Master Course" with Michele Luppi (Vision Divine, Mr.Pig). Since 2007 I'm the new vocalist of the band "RAIN", Italian Official Deep Purple Tribute Band with whom Ian Paice himself played a couple of time. In 2007 I also got diploma in "Modern Singing" at the Roland® Music School of Gorizia, where I have begun to teach in a rock-oriented singing course.Apart from music, I'm a Lifeguard and a Swimming-instructor at Gorizia's Swimming Pool. I have studied informatics in a Scientific High School. I'm in love with Arianna and I still live with my family.
