While growing up in northern Italy in the town of Biella, Fabrizio Brua studied
piano at the Lorenzo Perosi Conservatory of Music. Never completely convinced
by traditional western methods for studying and performing music, Brua began
to follow his own musical path.
Under the guidance of a Jesuit priest, Frate Cappelletto, Brua began a spiritual
journey that lead him to India. There he discovered classical Indian music and
the sitar. Since 1991 he has studied classical Indian music under the tutelage of the Italian sitar master, Gianni Ricchizzi, in Assisi Italy; with Pandit Amarnath Mishra in Varanasi, India and with Pakistani sitar virtuoso Ikhlaq Hussain Khan in NYC where Fabrizio lived 7 years . He came back to Italy on March 2015 where now he's spending his life.

Self Fantasy
Self Fantasy makes songs soundscapes, music,  noise,  quiet. Sometimes nothing. He plays  bass, guitar, drums, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, bowbro and somehow sings. If there was one of him for every instrument, he wouldn’t need a band. And that’s how it began. 
Now he collaborates with other musicians and composers in making songs and sound experiments.  
All Self Fantasy music is improvised. It is created, written, and recorded without previous practice or arrangement. Demos, like notes in a journal, incomplete projects, the songs are full of unique energy, and flaws. Like a drip of paint in a picture, they are part of the process. There is a nostalgia in this—not wanting a timeless song, but rather a very specific one. And there is no need to be perfect, for that song has past, and it will never be played like that again. Like the first time. There are so many new songs to scribble and sing. If any of these may be re-recorded in the future, will they be more perfect then? I do hope so. 
A self fantasy is a dream and a delusion,  a unicorn and a rainbow and a body on the bank of the river. 
Mostly, it is a love song. 
I will rewrite this tomorrow.
Listen to the snow.
