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, immediately starting to learn
seriously and after 6 months only, he was yet forming his first death-metal band,
DOGMA, that has been then named NERVE in 2006, after many singer's changes.

With them he made 2 albums, produced by Tommy Talamanca, then he joined a European tour lasting 3 weeks,
supporting HATE and INCANTATION and 14 shows in Poland with DECAPITATED, scheduled back in October 2010.

Going back to his story, the 2007 has been the year of his turnaround:
back then, the passion for the bass-guitar and generally for the music became stronger by
the moment, he was always less interested in completing the college, to be able to accomplish
music school, trying to make it become a profession and the very first working occasion arrives
in 2007, when he's hired by an '80s style "disco" band, formed by professionals, with whom
he 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 left the band for personal reasons, so
he 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 privately learning the theory, with the jazz pianist Massimo Colombo and
he has also joined the line-up of the Death Metal band called SIN OF LOT, from
Genova and he's actively cooperating with AXTRA since more than 8 years until today.
