Ciao a tutti! Per chi non mi conosce sono un chitarrista, insegnante, compositore, insomma adoro tutto ciò che ruota attorno alla musica e l'arte in generale (chi ha avuto la "fortuna" di vedere i miei disegni potrebbe ritenermi un pò pazzoide..). Mi sono diplomato in chitarra Rock Heavy-Fusion presso l'Accademia di Musica Moderna di Modena, dove ho studiato prima con Lelio Padovani e successivamente con Alex Stornello. Da diversi anni insegno chitarra Rock-Metal presso importanti accademie di musica. E ora sono co-direttore del Modern Music Institute di Parma. Inoltre sto conseguendo anche la Laurea in Jazz presso il Conservatorio "Evaristo Felice Dall'Abaco" di Verona (non si finisce mai di imparare cose nuove). Dal 2003 suono con gli State Of Mind, band prog metal, assieme ai quali ho inciso l'album "Pygmalion And His Images", che ha ricevuto parecchi aprrezzamenti da parte della critica. (www.myspace.com/stateofmindprog ). Da quest'anno suono anche nella band Fear Of Fours (www.fearoffours.com).

I teach rock, metal and fusion at several Italian schools and now I'm co-director of the Modern Music Institute of Parma. Since 2003 I play guitar with "State Of Mind", prog metal band; I have recorded wih them the album “Pygmalion And His Images”, that it has received several positive replies. (www.stateofmind.it).
