He was born in Biella on the 1st October 1967and he starts to manifest his first musical attitudes since he was young: an innate propensity to play any object induced him to turn every sound into rhythm.
Since he was young he understood that he had to devote his life to the rhythm and today his engagement in the instrumental didactics for the young’s’ education, with the last publication of the method 'Batteristi in 24 ore', confirms his maturity.
Passion and care encourage him to keep constantly update in the most innovative styles and techniques from the Blues to the Latin Jazz until the 'invention of a not musical sound' with the drums concert.
