Born in Bellinzona, Switzerland, in 1999, I am a drummer and musician of Italian-Swiss origins. Thanks to the influence of my father, also a musician, I was passionate about many musical genres since early childhood, preferring great artists such as: Frank Sinatra, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Mayer, BB King, Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane, Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy, and many others. From the age of 2, I was self-taught and thanks to the help of my father, a drummer, I began my journey.

From 2011 to 2016, after several outings with the groups of the time, I began to study the drums with the maestro Rocco Lombardi, where he helped me a lot to delve deeper into the various study techniques on the instrument, such as, to name one, the Moeller technique; It is a very elastic and fluid movement that allows you to have power, control, speed and duration with the minimum expenditure of energy, or even with paradiddles; The main notes are always alternated between the right and left hand. It also helped me a lot with reading on the score and different tricks to train every day so as not to lose training on reading.
