I am an Italian drummer, percussionist, arranger, producer and composer with extensive experience across theatre, television, studio work, and live concerts. I have toured internationally with orchestras and bands, led percussion sections, and produced projects through my own Sound Side Studio (opened in 2017). I enjoy collaborating with artists across genres and bringing together performance, recording, and creative production to deliver compelling music experiences. I am fluent in Italian and English, with intermediate French, and I bring strong organizational and teamwork skills to every project. My work history includes teaching drums and percussion at Marymount International School in Rome, performing with high-profile ensembles such as RTÉ Concert Orchestra and BBC Concert Orchestra, and managing studio and production responsibilities for advertising and recording sessions. I love developing new projects, mentoring others, and contributing creatively as a producer and composer.
