His story:

His first approach to the music has begun at the elementary school, by learning to play the piano, but it hasn't
been long lasting: during the high school's last year he was yet starting to give up, stopping once for all at the
beginning of college, during the classic teenage indifference.
His passion for the electric bass-guitar has arrived at 16, starting immediately by learning seriously and after 6
months only, he was yet forming his first death-metal band, DOGMA, become then NERVE in 2006,
after many singer's changes.
He has made two albums with them, recorded and produced by TOMMY TALAMANCA, then a European tour
lasting 3 weeks, supporting HATE and INCANTATION and 14 shows in Poland with DECAPITATED,
scheduled by October 2010.
Going back to his story, the 2007 has been the year of his turnaround: at those times, the passion for the
bass-guitar and for the music generally was stronger by the moment, he was always less interested in
completing the college, to be able to accomplish musical school, trying to make it become a profession and the
first working occasion arrives in 2007, when he's hired by a "disco" band, '80s style, formed by professionals,
with whom he has played, between the spring and the summer of 2007, a total average of 3 shows a week.
After the end of the summer he and the guitarist have left the band for personal reasons, so he has decided to
subscribe to the C.P.M. insitute of Milano, to complete the musical learning.
In 2 years only (against the forseen 4), he has completed the theory and armony part.
For the bass-guitar, on the contrary, he's been forced to follow the forseen schedule, because of a chronic
tendonitis, that has stopped him for 8 long months.
Now, he's learning the theory privately, with the jazz pianist MASSIMO COLOMBO, he has also joined the line-up
of SIN OF LOT and he's actively cooperating with AXTRA since more than a year.
