Autore e conduttore radiofonico, giornalista e musicista. Collaboro dalla metà degli anni ’80 con RadioRai: attualmente sono uno degli autori del Terzo Anello Musica e consulente musicale di "Damasco", "Ad alta voce", "Zenith", "Percorsi", "Fahrenheit", "Radio3Mondo", "Radio3 Scienza", tutte trasmissioni di Radio3. Collaboro anche con RTSI, la radio della svizzera italiana, e scrivo di musica, cultura giovanile e viaggi per Il Manifesto, Alias, XL di Repubblica, Slowfood, Il giornale della Musica e molti altri magazine. Come musicista sono stato il bassista delle prime stagioni dei Mau Mau, il co-leader dei Mazapegul, il produttore e l'autore testi dei Daunbailò. Un mio “atlante personale” dedicato ai viaggi e agli incontri del periodo Mau Mau/Mazapegul è stato pubblicato nella collana Orme della Edt col titolo “Se è giovedì siamo in Olanda”. In questo periodo sto portando in giro per l’Italia un nuovo progetto: Gli Ex (roots & soul, swing & roll). Insieme al clarinettista Gabriele Mirabassi e alla vocalist Maria Pia de Vito propongo invece la conferenza-spettacolo “Il fuoco amico di John Cage”. Ho infine ulteriormente precisato il progetto Corzani Airlines, un djset fatto di musiche originali e selezioni downtempo e quello del Lap Dance Trio (jazz ed elettronica morbida) .
