Biography
I started playing with my first guitar when I was 14th, writing songs and lyrics.
My first electric guitar was a white Yamaha like Strato. It was good. I used it with a 100W Davoli Valve Amp Head and it sounded so good.
I was very influenced by musicians like Santana, Hendrix and bands like Pink Floyd, Yes, Dire Straits and ELP.
I love songwriters as James Taylor and Cat Stevens since the beginning I got their albums.
Some year later I started playing also keyboards and bass, and I was very interested in arrangment and composition.
I like to create music using different approaches. I can start from a drum pattern or a guitar riff, but it's also possible that a good piano sequence can give me inspiration for new songs.
I started taking advantages of new technologies using software sequencers and also software synths trying to rich my sound, but I also discovered that blues and blues-rock is my real root.
I love good sound, and in my last CD I just used up to 4 instruments per track (drums, bass, guitar and keyboards).
I record my song in my home studio and I try to play all the instrumental parts (except drums) recording them directly.
For the voice I use a condender mic and just a little of reverb with an harmonizer for 2-3 voices parts.
All songs are arranged by myself.
I always look for musicians collaboration not necessary with my own roots.
Recent collaboration for some jamming with Ezcape Hex (songwriter), Jan Pulsford (electronic musician) and UKD Project for live jamming performances.
I play live also in Second Life or Livestream since last 4 years (about 300 online concerts).
Live jamming also with different bands in my area.
