About

I discovered my love for music at six, starting with the guitar and later the piano. By fifteen I was already playing in bands, touring Mantua’s province and other regions of Italy as a musician and composer. At twenty I was selected for the prestigious CET school founded by Mogol, where I studied composition and interpretation and later stayed on as a course assistant for teachers like Mango, Lucio Dalla, Cheope, Stelvio Cipriani, Ornella Vanoni, Gianni Bella, and Mario Lavezzi. Along the way I built a professional rapport with Mogol, participating with him in national events, presenting Mogol’s greatest hits and my own songs; I sang at National matches and appeared on RAI-Mediaset TV shows, and performed in concerts with Mango, Umberto Tozzi, and Marco Masini.

After eight years with Mogol I started producing other musical projects — theatre scores, advertising, dance music for foreign markets — and founded my independent label CANZONI BUONE COME IL PANE, which produced my first album Buonasera Signorina (Argentina edition by De Angel Feg and distributed by Sony Argentina). The album fuses Italian ballads with Italian classics and Spanish songs, and its tracks were used by Miss Italia America/Uruguay and Latin radio, including ‘Historia de una Historia’ which charted across Latin America. Since then I’ve continued to compose, arrange, and produce internationally, earning recognition such as membership in the Latin Grammy Academy, GRAMMY Academy Mentor, ISSA awards, and collaborations in Los Angeles on film scores.
