ABOUT

Hey there! I'm a versatile guitarist with a rich musical background, starting my journey at the age of 14. With classical training as my foundation, I've primarily rocked the stages of Italy's metal scene, recording five full-length albums and collaborating with major Sicilian metal bands. After moving to London a decade ago, I continued my musical journey, performing in a Djent band and dabbling in heavy metal gigs.

I'm now eager to explore new musical landscapes, venturing beyond the metal genre. I'm particularly interested in reggae, funk, and ska, and I enjoy playing fingerstyle classical guitar. I also have a passion for unique instruments and own a Harp Guitar and a Chapman Stick. While I thoroughly enjoy playing both, they are complex and unusual instruments, and I may not be 100% confident proposing myself as a primary musician for them. However, I'm always up for giving it a shot if you think it could fit musically in your project.

I have my own car, making it easy for me to travel to gigs and rehearsals. I'm looking to rehearse once a week and am passionate about collaborating with like-minded musicians who are open to exploring diverse genres and creating something unique.
