I started studying music in 2010, and I immediately fell in love with rock and blues. To this day, I'm still studying at the "G. Verdi" Conservatory in Milan, where I'm pursing a master’s degree in Pop-Rock Guitar.
Since 2015, I’ve been playing with many ensembles in Northern Italy and Switzerland, ranging from rock and pop, to funk and jazz. These experiences have shaped my musical identity, enabling me to become a charismatic and versatile musician with the ability to adapt to a variety of musical settings.

Snow Ball il gran ballo, 1st edition, December 22nd ‘24
During my high school years – from 2014 to 2019 - I played with my first bands, where I put into practice what I eagerly studied about the guitar and modern piano, as well as harmony and theory.
In 2019, I recorded the song “Hey Mama!” with the group Fools ‘Round, which was released on January 8, 2020. I had the pleasure to be the author, composer, guitarist and singer of this song. You can listen to it by clicking here!
In June, I start collaborating with “PROM il gran ballo”, the largest student ball in the province of Varese, as guitarist and keyboard player for the event's band. Later in 2022, my friend Dario Roncolato joins the band as keybord player.
In summer 2020, I recorded the guitar parts for the single “Bella da lontano” by the singer-songwriter Nestore.
That same year I took part in the finale of the 33rd edition of Sanremo Rock with “Ivan Carletta & the Eclipse”, and his song “L’Ultima Rockstar”.
In the meantime, I began my studies at the “G. Verdi" Conservatory in Milan, where I had the opportunity to be a student of such excellent artists as Rocco Zifarelli (Tosca, Cristiano De André, Ennio Morricone, Billy Cobham, Quincy Jones), Lorenzo Poli (Mina, Vasco Rossi, Nek, Renato Zero), Max Costa (Elio e le Storie Tese, winner of Latin Grammy 2018 with Laura Pausini), just to name a few.
In 2021, at the “Festa della Musica” on June 21, together with other Conservatory students, I opened Edoardo Bennato’s concert at the Sforza Castle in Milan.
That same year, I returned to Sanremo with “Ivan Carletta & the Eclipse” performing the song “Utopica”, which placed third in the final on September 12.
In 2022 I become musical director for "PROM il gran Ballo", taking care of the live music management for the band Funkalicious -of which I am part-, in each edition. From 2022 to today, the event will be repeated each year in June and December, involving up to 11 high schools in the province of Varese, reaching up to 2500 selling tickets.
Joni Mitchell “Voice of a Free Woman”, Teatro Nuovo Varese, January 16th 2025
For the last four years I’ve been working as a teacher of modern guitar and harmony in music schools in Novara (Istituto Immacolata Salesiane) and Varese (JAM MusicLab, MondoMusica), as well as giving private lessons. Throughout my experience, I've had the opportunity to work with very young elementary students, middle and high school students, and adults.
