In love with the world, inspired by everything around me. On my musical journey as Francis V since 2017.

I'm an Italian drummer, percussionist, composer, and music producer based in Budapest.
I was born and raised in southern Italy. In 2013 I moved to Rome, graduating with a bachelor’s degree in jazz drums & percussion at the Saint Louis College of Music, and completed a master’s degree in music for video games at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory. 

As a music performer, I played in different music projects covering numerous genres. Throughout the years, I composed a wide variety of music, which frequently has been featured in various video games, mobile apps, and advertising promos. I released singles and EPs for Neele Records, Rehegoo Music, and Epic Tones Records.

I'm the founder of Timeless Music Network and Timeless Music Records.
I'm the author of several drum books and the founder of Francis' Drumming Blog: a resource of drum sheet music, transcriptions, exercises, books, and everything related to the drums.
