Following in my parents' footsteps I started playing drums aged 3. I attended Accademia Musicale Pescarese (1982-1985). From 14 I played in various orchestras. I toured with Mimmo Cavallo(1yr), Michele Zarrillo (5yr), Lena Biolcati (3yr), Drupi (8yr), Piero Mazzocchetti (1yr), Gia² Di Tonno & Lola Ponce (6yr); Big Band Jazz; IPIS Orchestra (1986), I. Silone Ensamble (1996). I collaborated with Dean Brown, Jeff Berlin, Frank Gambale, Jennifer Batten, Stuart Hamm, Greg Howe, Maurizio Rolli, Massimo Moriconi, Gigi Cifarelli, Bob Franceschini, Alain Caron, Mike Stern. Playing is life, passion, love and sacrifices. Learning from other artists has broadened my musical knowledge.
