He has loved music since he was a child and has been playing it for over 20 years in clubs, theaters, streets, and rooms. He was quickly struck by the Blues and Folk and went on to study their musical and socio-cultural background in-depth. He developed a great love for all types of stringed instruments typical of various folk traditions, and this passion led him to curate multimedia projects aimed at promoting Blues in Italy, as well as playing at numerous national festivals and events. He teaches Banjo, Resophonic Guitar, and Ukulele.
Since 2009, he has been touring Italy with his band, performing blues, alternative country, and folk to his heart's content.
In 2011, he released the first EP "Live at Passerano Blues," and a year later, thanks to his full maturity, the first album of unpublished songs, "The Heart and The Black Spider," which relied on important collaborations.
The growing critical acclaim, audience and industry recognition led him to duet with many important artists in the folk/blues/roots scene in Italy and beyond, and to be invited to numerous festivals including Novara Jazz, Ameno Blues, Ferrara Buskers Festival, Greenage Festival, Fly Mountain Show, Beinasco Blues Festival, Gilgamesh Blues and Folk Festival, Townes Van Zandt International Festival, Buscadero Day, and more.
In 2015, the band released "Junk-E Garage," an EP and a 45 vinyl record, with which they shifted towards a garage rock sound.
In October 2016, the highly anticipated new work "The True Story of a Seasick Sailor in The Deep Blue Sea" was released by Good Luck Factory, with prestigious guests and co-produced by Luca Swanz Andriolo (Dead Cat In a Bag).
In 2017, a double acoustic single was released, recorded in August 2016 at the historic Sun Studio in Memphis, along with a photographic book. That same year, he achieved recognition as one of the big names in the Italian Blues scene, with an invitation to appear as one of the headliners of Blues Made in Italy, the largest Blues event in Italy.
The show he presents starts with some old Blues, then unfolds with original songs and stories of sailors with seasickness.
