I started playing the drums at the age of two, following my father’s footsteps who also was a drummer. Playing the drums is a form of language that I have learned together with speaking or walking, therefore, naturally being part of my life at all times. From being it an immense passion, I decided to transform playing the drums into a profession, permitting me to show my dedication to music on a daily basis.
What I personally love about the art of playing the drums is the way it allows me to express myself through the use of time and dynamics, using these informations to “serve” a piece of music at the same time.

Availability: I am mainly available during afternoons/evenings from Monday to Friday and usually available in the morning/whole day on Saturdays and Sundays.

I am really flexible when planning lessons, especially when students also have school/college during the week.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: When I was five years old I started my musical studies taking drums lessons privately. By attending various drum classes and workshops over the following years, I have deepened my passion for drums playing. I have also been involved in various musical bands/projects and collaborated with many different Italian artists such as Ghost, Annalisa Minetti, Tony Esposito, Claudia Arvati, Franky & Cantina Band, Marco Rinalduzzi and many more. On 21sr of November 2016, I moved to London to take my next step into the music industry and I now work as a session drummer and I am a student at The Institute of Contemporary Music Performance University, (BMus - Drums) in London. I have collaborated with a number or British artists such as Herenwolf, Sully Gravity, Natalie Lindi as a session drummer/arranger and played in different gigs around the London music scene. I particularly enjoy playing on Jazz/Funk/Fusion musical projects. I am currently playing the drums in a West End Musical production ("Sundown Town" written and composed by Adam Wachter).
