I was born in Bari in 1981. Since my early years, I consider music and books my principal reason of life. I started to play piano when I was about 6 years old, then I began to play guitar trying to learn old blues songs played and loved by my father. At the age of 15, I learned to play drums and moved to Rome when I founded my first punk Oi! band called "Brigate Rozze" producing our first demo and some 7" EP's. After the first gigs, we decided to change name into Threat Of Riot, changing our sound into a more serious old school hardcore band, doing our first full lenght album, playing a lot around Italy first, and Europe later, crowning our wonderful 6 years experience with the unforgettable "Storm Over Europe 2003 Tour" and our first videoclip "Yesterday Is Coming". Growing up and engaging more with love and empathy, I gradually started listening to political rap first, finally finding best approach to everyday life problems in the music I listen and love nowadays. Original Roots Rock Reggae, the music that represent myself as a human being. I get into one of the biggest italian roots sound system called Linea Di Massa, starting to play with the sound system, and producing my first computer made dubs. Closing a four years important experience, I decided to ride over another road and left the sound system on April 2008. Actually I spend the greatest part of my energies trying to learn the art of studio engineering, building a brand new recording studio with I bredrin Paco Ten (almost ready, fully working on May 2008), without stopping our DJ sets and collaborating with the soaring Italian Dub Community.
