How long have you been making music for?
I have been playing since the age of 14, I started with the classical guitar and for two years I dedicated myself to the study of harmony, sight reading, arpeggios and the study of pieces from the classical repertoire under the guidance of an accustomed teacher to accompany their students to the conservatory.
Subsequently I started listening to hard rock/heavy metal music, and from that moment everything changed!
In fact, I switched to the electric guitar, I changed teachers and I started to follow my passion for the metal genre and therefore to study techniques of the genre. In the meantime I graduated in law, music has never been a job but always a passion!
What is your favorite instrument to play on?
Without a doubt the electric guitar!
What acts have you played with before if any?
I’ve never shared the stage with famous artists, but it would be nice to do so!
If you had to lay out all the bands in order you played in as a timeline what would they be?
I had several projects, I played both in cover bands like Nightwish or Motorhead tributes and unreleased projects.
What is the coolest experience you have had as a musician?
Difficult to choose just one! Probably the satisfaction of writing your own music.
What inspires you to keep doing what you do?
Music allows you to express emotions, sensations, it tells about you and is therefore a side of your personality.
If you had to name some influences what would they be?
At band level I would say Black Sabbath, Opeth, Iron Maiden, Testament, Megadeth (just a few) of virtuosos I would say Joe Satriani, Alex Skolnick, Kiko Loureiro, Guthrie Govan.
What is your favorite venue you been to or played in?
The most beautiful place I've been to is in Japan, I don't remember the name but it was magnificent! The most beautiful place where I "played” (not exactly!) in a stand of Florence Rocks in 2018!
