ACCOMPLISHMENTS

From 2013 to 2018 I played for a cover band. We went out and play under the name of “Truffle Dogs” and our repertoire was made of English and American rock/blues songs from the 70s and 80s. In 2015 we decide to change our name - we called our band Doblò - and our repertoire which consisted from then in Italian rock/pop music and songs from the great Italian songwriters of the 70s. We use to play in bars and squares in our geographical zone.

From 2016 until 2018 I played with my guitar teacher's acoustic trio in Italy. The trio name was Magacustica. We use to play our original music on the streets and we use to attend contests for original music. We won the prize of best lyrics in 2018 at the Live Song Contest in Traversetolo (Parma, Italy). After that experience the people who organized the festival asked us to open for Italian multiplatinum selling singer Federica Carta.

In 2018 I moved to Los Angeles to study guitar at Musicians Institute. After my graduation in December 2019 I started running an intense activity mainly as a studio player playing in other artists' records (due to COVID).

In September I connected Leon Sylver III: former bass player of the family group “The Sylvers” (Funk, RnB, Disco music group very active in the 70s) who turned into producer. He wrote many song which topped in the billboard charts, had several platinum records and in 2010 he was nominated for a Grammy.

He made me play guitar parts in NIKKOLE's new record which is going to be released soon. NIKKOLE is an American singer/songwriter best know for her singles “Zero” and “Gonna Get It Right” from her fourth studio album “Hallucinations”. The songs have reached respectively #7 and #20 of the Billboard Dance Club chart

I have also developed a relationship with Koch Amps (an amp company from Netherlands) and I have released a demo and review video of the Studiotone XL head (one of their products). The video has been shared in their social media pages
