03-2007 Started my project called ZERODIVA
I was born 20 october 1975 in Salento (South of Italy), a magical place where the sun meets winds and seas, where purple wine burns the veins...
Singer since I was child, I started playing classical piano at 11-years-old and graduated at fifth year. In 1996 the bass jumped in my life and I loved it by my own for years and years playing Tony Levin, Geddy Lee, Jaco and many more.
Finding my way I moved to Milan, Turin, Bologna and finally to Rome, inside the ancient walls between Colosseum and S. John, where I'm having projects and collaborations in one of the best place for my music creation and songwriting, tasting every music universe, each sense of it.
Music is simply what it is, each colour of life.
Aleks Ferrara.

hey! we are trying to change something... our new singer erik can't be a full member of dreamscape because the stess to travel a lot is affecting his health. so we decided to work with more than one singer - honestly we will work with even more than two... hopefully you will like that idea! we like it a lot because we will be very flexible and our sound will become even more complex! kind regards! DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany) (new cd september 2009! - buy or let die!)
PS: always believe in your dreams! and don't get frightened if they are becoming real! - because for a believer they will!
