Thanks to my father I started to sing, but first of all to LISTEN that it's the most important thing to learn, understand and FEEL the power of notes and life.
My family has a long and deep tradition of singers, guitarists, pianists, composers and music lovers, maybe this is the reason why I can't stop!
So...at the age ot 13 I was on stage...singing...and that was the beginning.
I walked through Gospel Music (at 15 I was the solist of a Gospel choir and on 2006 I performed at Umbria Jazz fest. with the direction of Dennis Montgomery III and Donna McElroy of Berklee College), Blues, Jazz, Rhythm'n'blues, Funk, Soul, Acid Jazz, Chill out (with the band Cellar 55: Fernando Opera, Alessandro De Florio, Paolo Paolini, Paolo Chiari), Nu Jazz (with the band Ostinato: Lorenzo Fontana, Andrea Belli) and all kind of music that makes me feel good and alive.
I've been lucky 'cause life has let me know beautiful people who teached me many different things about music and life, and I thank them everyday...but the incredible thing is that I still meet amazing musicians who give me the strenght to fight for my dream and show me the right way to follow for doing what I want but being always focused and with the right mind.
I also have had the honour to play with: Matteo Addabbo, Chander Sardjoe, Linley Marthe, Thomas Gromaire, Vincent Bourgeyx, Geoffroy De Masure, Archie Love, Andy Martin, Rocky Lawrence, Lazy Lester, Davell Crawford...hopefully the list will be longer and longer and longer....
Hope you'll enjoy...
