I couldn't believe you didn't believe in yourself the same everyday...the rise & fall...

About Me

Music is my life. I've started to sing early and I've done my first exibition at the age of 5 (1989). In 1990 I've started to study PIANO and KEYBOARD till 1996. Then I've decided to study guitar by myself, because I've always hated the school methods. In 2001 I've studied "sing" at the Hope music school of Rome, with important teachers from the italian pop/rock scene (Gatto Panceri, Lisa, Stefano D'Orazio from Pooh,...) and I was graduated as "Singer and interpreter". In 2001, September, I've built a band, Lightning Daze, where I actually play, oriented trough melodic punk music. In the same year, I've fall in love with Ilaria, who's actually my girlfriend. In 2005 I've started to study "Science and Tecnologies of music communication" at the University of Milan. It was the first step of my new carrier/life. In fact, I've met Matteo Carriero and we've found togheter NoReason Booking Agency, in order to create a unite punk/alternative scene in Italy, where all the bands helped each others to play around Italy. In a couple of Months it has became my job. During the same year, I've collaborated with Omnibus Srl, a company who organize big events, and I've had the possibility to work with pop artists like Povia, Marco Masini, Gatto Panceri, Tosca, Ivana Spagna,...and I've worked as an assistant at the Hope Music School of Rome. In 2006 I've started to run a record label, NoReason Records, with my friend Stefano Nazzari. During this year I've met Ilich Rausa from Rude Records, the most important indie label in Italy (Europe?) and I've started a collaboration with him, who has misteriously ended at the end of 2007. In all these years, I've had the possibility to work with great artists from all the world, such as Gogol Bordello, The Casualties, Break the Silence, Much The Same, No Trigger, Useless ID, Bedouin Soundclash, Danko Jones, Enemy Alliance, Blondelle, Travoltas, Dufresne, Rentokill,... Thanks to these experiences I've decided to run a management agency, signing with one of the most promising band of the moment: KNOW MARGARET. Let us see...
