Biography & studio services
A life spent between the stage and the studio, driven by one constant: a passion for acoustic music and songwriting.
About me
My story began at the age of eight, with a guitar in my hands. Raised on ’60s and ’70s classic rock and the West Coast sound, I went on to study voice, harmony and composition with respected teachers such as Luca Pitteri and Bob Stoloff. Since then I have played renowned theatres like the Ariston and the Bibiena, and prestigious stages such as the Verona Arena and Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome.
Since 2004 I have focused on writing songs in Italian and on projects devoted to the giants of Italian songwriting, including Fabrizio De André, with the patronage of the Fondazione Fabrizio De André Onlus. Over the years I have also been musical director and live accompanist for theatre productions and cabaret shows featuring well-known artists from Zelig, Italy’s best-known comedy show.
Today I perform across Northern Italy, Lake Garda and Europe, bringing a refined, intimate and professional acoustic repertoire wherever I play. Alongside the live work, I produce, arrange and teach in my own recording studio.
Credits & collaborations
In thirty years I have shared the stage and the studio with some of Italy’s finest session musicians, and opened concerts for Italian and international names.
