"I'm italian but i don't like mozzarella cheese on my Pizza, i don't have a favourite soccer team and i've never been with a prostitute yet. This could be enough to describe my social background. Talking about stuff, i grew up with a severe Hip Hop education, which basically means i've started earn my first money robbing dear old ladies or selling cracks to my peeps in the ghetto since 8 yrs old. I had the luck to be remixed by well known international artists (such as Wehbba, Den Ishu, Alli Borem, Macromism and more others to come) and to open for many international acts: from Karotte, Jesse Rose, Nic Fanciulli, Pirupa, Riva Starr to Azari & III, Untold, Popof, Gel Abril, Phil Kieran, Par Grindvik, Joseph Capriati.. and many others. 
My tracks are already featured in the major radioshow (BBC1 Essential Mix, Ibiza Global Radio, Ministry Of Sound Radio) & supported by big guys such as Carl Cox, Pete Tong, Shlomi Aber, Nic Fanciulli, Marco Carola, Dubfire, Ben Sims (...) and more!"
