He has been playing the piano since he was 5 and "trying" to compose songs from almost the same time. Since he was 24 he has been studying composition.
In the meantime he graduated in Ethnomusicology, doing research on music and trance in shamanic rituals, thanks to which he traveled extensively, spending two months in Nepal and one in Siberia, recording and filming rituals of all kinds and sometimes participating in them (he produced, on this occasion, a documentary published by the CNR: "Music, altered states of consciousness and dance in a shamanic ritual of central Nepal" and a CD of shamanic music). Thanks to this experience he gained great experience in ethnic music and approached some "ethnic" instruments.
He is active in composition with titles already published in the international circuit and various soundtracks for short films and has gained, thanks to the study and many direct experiences, great familiarity with orchestration, writing arrangements for orchestra and choir also for David Foster and for Andrea Bocelli. At the same time, he works as a teacher of Thai massage, meditation, yoga, in the Bewater Home center, which he created with his wife Depi Tritsi.
