BIOGRAPHY
I was born in Turin, Italy, the year Led Zeppelin released “Physical Graffiti” considered one of their
best albums. At the age of 12 I decided to dedicate my life to what kept me out of trouble and made
me the man I am today: drumming.
I learned my rudiments at Jungle Music in Turin with Mario Bracco and played in the Italian circuit for
10 years performing 100s of shows with names like Raw Power, Linea77, Statuto, and this until I
moved to London in 1998.
Since then I have been involved in many projects, played all around UK and in most part of Europe
and US, sharing the stage with some great musicians: Pete Doherty, Adam Ant, Deerhoof, Cardiacs,
Peter Wolfe, Reuben, Skinny Man, King Prawns, E-Force (ex-VOIVOD) are just few of them.
I regularly work with few musical theatre companies whom with I performed some Off-West End
theatre musical projects like: Disco Inferno, Hairspray, We Will Rock You, Heaven Sent, etc.
I recently graduated in BMus in Popular Music Performance at Tech Music School, London.
I was lucky to be taught by experienced musicians like Darryn Farrugia, Erik Stams, Adam Betts
(James Taylor Quartet), Sebastiaan De Krom (Jamie Cullum) and have attended Master classes with
top drummers like: Dave Weckl, Jojo Mayer, Billy Cobham and Hernandez "El Negro"
