Born in Benevento, Italy, I found my passion for music at a very young age. By the age of 10, I was already studying piano at the Conservatory and eventually earned my diploma. My love for opera emerged in my later years, leading me to also pursue a diploma in lyrical singing.
While classical music played a pivotal role in shaping my early years, I’ve always had an affection for rock, hard rock, and heavy metal. I’ve been inspired by iconic bands such as Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Black Sabbath, W.A.S.P., Queen, Rush, Rainbow, Journey, and Police.
Throughout my musical journey, I’ve had the opportunity to perform, collaborate, and create arrangements in various genres, from lyrical to gospel, pop, rock, metal, and more. Whether taking the stage as a soloist, supporting as a chorister, or setting the mood as a keyboardist, music has always been my guiding force. Recently, I’ve started exploring the electric guitar, learning under the guidance of Marco D’Andrea, a well-respected guitarist and record producer.
Some of my recent live appearances include the listening party for my debut album, “Two.0.one.9”, at Rock n Roll Rho, as well as performances at the Festa della Musica in Varallo and Canegrate Soundays. I’ve also released videos like “My Evil Side” and “You’re the One” on YouTube, with artistic direction from Betty Style and direction by Lorenzo Avanzi and Brace Beltempo.
In essence, my journey, particularly with the release of “Two.0.one.9”, reflects my dedication to music and my continuous pursuit to explore new horizons.
