I am a musician, composer, and sound engineer born in Sardinia in 1993, currently based in Cagliari. I grew up immersed in Sardinian traditional and ethno-jazz music, strongly influenced by my father’s concert activities. I began studying classical guitar at the age of nine and progressively explored blues, rock-blues, psychedelic rock, and jazz-rock fusion, both on acoustic and electric guitar, drawing inspiration from artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, and Jaco Pastorius.
