I’ve been playing music for 35 years, starting guitar at the age of 4. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to perform live with various bands, including Latte & Rock, where I gained experience on TV shows like Bravo Bravissimo and Rai-Domenica In. My musical journey also led me to explore jazz and classical guitar at the Conservatorio di Bologna, where I studied with Professor Giuseppe Ficara. After years of performing, I shifted my focus to music composition for film, video games, and other media. I completed a Master’s in Film Composition and studied with Maestro Stefano Fonzi, assistant to Ennio Morricone, further developing my skills in orchestration and composition. My work spans multiple genres: from rock and electronic to orchestral film scores. I’m passionate about creating music that enhances storytelling and fits perfectly with the visual medium. I primarily use Cubase and Logic as DAWs, and Dorico for notation. I work with professional sound libraries through Kontakt, such as Spitfire, Cinesamples, Cinematic Studio, and 8Dio, ensuring high-quality, cinematic sound. Whether you’re looking for orchestral scores, electronic soundtracks, or something in between, I’m here to collaborate and help bring your vision to life.
