I am a multidisciplinary musician and educator with a long history of performing, composing, and teaching across Italy and beyond. I started studying music in 1990 and, as a self-t taught guitarist and composer in the early 1990s, produced demotapes and an EP while exploring Indian classical music on sitar and sarod. I collaborate in various groups, lead projects like SITARVALA, DHARMA108, and VIRA, and I have developed numerous educational programs to spread Indian classical music among young students. Over the years I have released multiple albums, collaborated with artists across genres, and created online teaching content. I remain passionate about cinema, yoga, and dance, and I enjoy combining traditional instruments with modern electronic approaches. I continue to teach guitar, bass, sitar, theory, and harmony across Verona and beyond, while developing new musical ventures and content with partners such as Kevin Follet and Moriah Hope (NIKUNJA).
