Alessio first grabbed a guitar when he was 12 and started his carreer as a self-taught musician, soon growing a passion for the great guitar heroes (such as Steve Vai, Paul Gilbert and John Petrucci).
Alessio began this way to build his technical and theoretical basis, and joined several cover bands with which he had a considerable success in the district of Varese. Thanks to the influence of artists like George Benson and Robben Ford, Alessio discovered the world of jazz and blues and started taking lessons from Valerio Annichiarico (jazz player and Musicologist). With him, Alessio broadened his vision and his knowledge, and strengthened the technique of his right hand, main feature of his style.
