BIO:
Christian's artistic journey began very early when he started listening to Disco, Funk, Hip Hop, and Break Dance tracks from his father's private collection.

The early sounds of Black Music, featuring artists like Chic, Kool & The Gang, Delegation, as well as 2Pac, DJ Premier, J Dilla, and Grandmaster Flash, enriched his listening experience from a young age.

During his teenage years, he discovered the world of clubbing, which quickly shifted his focus towards the underground scene.

This environment led him to develop a passion for Deep House, Soulful, and Classic House sounds, inspired by American artists such as Karizma, Frankie Feliciano, Louie Vega, and Kenny Dope (MAW).

His admiration for these genres motivated him to start DJing live in local lounge bars in his hometown of Prato, where he showcased House, Deep, and Minimal music.

This experimentation led to a more personal and introspective approach to House and Deep House, culminating in his first release on Dancera Records.

In 2016, thanks to his early performances and continuous exploration of music and club culture, he began to lay the foundations for his personal Tech House project.

Through collaborations with local collectives, he had the chance to perform "warm-up sets" for artists such as Ruben Mandolini and Shitake (Happy Techno), solidifying his reputation as a well-known DJ in his hometown.

He started to focus more and more on the production side, studying piano and producing tracks that reflected his evolving taste, leaning towards House, Techno and Dub with dark-introspective sounds. This new direction was showcased in Florence at the historic Club21 during prominent events like Materya and Groovy.

In 2024, thanks to his releases on Music Key Ibiza and Paranoia Music (MEX), he caught the attention of an emerging collective from Milan called “RAW Collective”.

Following collaborations in Florence, they made their debut in the summer at Lola's Club in the city center of Ibiza.

Later, he started to receive support from big artists such as Joseph Capriati, Riva Starr, Cristina Lazic, Sosa (UK), Marco Strous, Niteplan, Rowen Klark, David Aurel, and Ruben Mandolini.

Currently, he is a prominent name among the new talents in established Italian underground scenes like Tenax Club, delivering sets that push increasingly dark and introspective sounds.
