“....who changed my life?
...........Roger Waters”
I was born in 1976 in Italy and since I was very young, music has always been part of me. Actually, I started playing at the age of 15, after watching “Pink Floyd – Live at Pompei”, probably because Roger Waters impressed me much more because of his person than of his bass. I've had many bands in my life and I've studied a lot of things with many excellent teachers/musicians. There is only one reason that convinced me to leave Italy for London:
Music!
“Who taught me?”
I've studied guitar-music theory and harmony with M° Roberto Seccamani, drum and percussion with M° Enzo Moretti, voice with M° Alberto Quarello and I've tried to understand a lot of things about music - and not - from M° Maurizio Torchio (bass). At present, I'm in the Higher Diploma bass course in ICMP here in London (www.icmp.uk.com).
