Guitarist, composer and teacher, I began studying the guitar at age 11. During my studies I was lucky enough to get close to the classical guitar and its italian and spanish repertoire, then at the "So What" music school of Olevano Romano, I studied electric guitar with Fabio De Giusti. I played at the same time in various rock, pop and acoustic bands, In 2007 I enrolled in the Academy of Music of Paliano "Jazz Friends" for the study of jazz guitar with M° Fabio Macera. Soon after I continued with the teacher Donato Marchesani and then in 2010  I entered in the music school of Rome "Ladybird project". There I studied for two years with Francesco Saguto, Eddy Palermo, Paolo Patrignani (Mike Stern's student), Andrea Romanazzo, Giuseppe La Spina, Leonardo Porcheddu and many others.. I also followed two seminars with the great Scott Henderson and one with Russell Ferrante. In 2012 I moved to Berlin where I began working as session musicians for different artists. Since 2015 I work also in the music school "Tomatenklang" in Berlin.
