ABOUT ME
I was bord in Italy but since my first month of life, i went to live in a boat, with my parents. They was in Senegal at the time. After 3 years of africa, my parents decided to move to Brasil and they crossed the ocean with a small boat (30 foots). From 1984 to 1994 i lived in Bahia, Brasil, and this formed my personality.
My experience with music starts in Bahia (Brasil), when i was 6. Till my 14 i studied and played for my self, starting to compose when i was 12, and then i casually start to work with music, playng in pubs and music bars in Bologna, Italy. From then i never stopped to play and compose.
SHORTS...
In 1997 i frequented the C.E.T (Centro Europeo di Toscolano) directed by Mogol, the biggest lyric writer in Italy
In 2001 to 2005 i worked on graphic and web design in Barcelona and i start to study electronic composition. At the same time i played in various formations including Latin Music.
In 2006 i made the soundtrack of "Domingo Frango Assado" directed by Federico Mutti, a shot film ambiented in Itacare, Bahia, Brasil.
In 2006 was also reseased "Baiano Vem, Baiano Vai" (Afro Art), made in collaboration with my big friend Dj Farrapo (Giorgio Cencetti) and we started the project of our first LP. In the same year i realized the videoclip of the song, using Flash, with the help of my mother Mileva Servadei.
