Music producer & engineer

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: One project I'm particularly proud of is my debut single, "pieno di guai."

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I'd choose digital for its flexibility, accessibility, and endless creative possibilities. I love being able to experiment with sounds, work efficiently, and shape ideas without limitations. However, I appreciate the warmth and character of analog gear, and I believe the best approach is to use whatever serves the song best. For me, creativity matters more than the tools themselves.

I keep communication open throughout the process and work collaboratively to achieve the best possible result.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

A: I usually ask clients about their artistic vision, musical references, and the emotions they want to convey.

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

A: I'd bring a knife, a lighter, a water filter, a satellite phone, and a notebook with a pen. Survival comes first, but I'd also need a way to keep my ideas alive and write down anything that comes to mind. You never know when inspiration will strike, even on a deserted island!

Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?

A: I started producing music in 2019, developing my skills through a combination of self-teaching and formal education at music schools and academies. Over the years, I've continued to learn, experiment, and refine my approach to production, sound design, and mixing, always striving to grow as a musician and sound engineer.

Q: Can you share one music production tip?

A: Don't be afraid to experiment and break the rules. Learn the fundamentals, but remember that great production comes from developing your own sound and trusting your ears. Less is more: every sound should have a purpose, and sometimes simplicity makes a track truly unforgettable. Focus on the emotion of the song rather than adding layers or plugins just for the sake of it.
