In the mean time, my love for Hard rock and Heavy metal pushed me to purchase an electric guitar, and when I was 19 I quit my classical guitar studies to fully dedicate myself to the study of modern music.
My last master was the great musician Michele Quaini , who helped me a lot in the study of the instrument. For 6 years, (2000 - 2006) I played with In Depth , a local metal band; we gigged here and there, and we played also with some famous italian metal bands like DGM and Vision Divine. After that, and after the recording of a Promo CD titled "Genista/Ginst" which I recorded completely in my room, we splitted due to artistical divergencies.
