Description
I’m a multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter from Trento, Im currently attending BIMM music college in Dublin, where I’m with a few different local bands and recording/producing by myself a few songs of mine. My arrangements blend togheter multiple styles and influences: acoustic instruments with electronic layers, textures and colours to create evocative atmospheres and powerful dynamics. My mission, when writing and composing, is to bring the listener through an immersive journey.
Tell us about the best concert you ever played!
One of the most important gigs I’ve got the opportunity to play took place in Dublin, Ireland, in one of the most prestigious venues in the city, Whelan’s main Stage, when I’ve been called to perform as opening act for London artist Sjaney (We’ve only just begun Festival).
To whom does your music speak?
My music starts somewhere and ends up somewhere else: anyone who’s willing to close their eyes and open their hearts to loose themselves on a journey of feelings, through different atmospheres, layers of sounds, textures and 0-to-100 dynamics, is welcome on board.
How do you envision your musical journey?
At 6, came my first instrument ever: a MicroKorg synth. From there,I started exploring guitars, pianos, drums, different daws, vocals – I’m fully self-thaught, everything I know now I’ve learned it by listening first. And with a feedback after the other, I end up winning multiple contests, perfomed in festivals, recorded in studios, meeting professionals, building my network, detailing my style, gathering resources – now I’m in Dublin, finally about to start the machine.
