I have always loved Music, any kind. Music marks most of the memorable times and journeys of my life and also helped me out during tough times. Classical Music and Opera and Neapolitan songs are the soundtrack of my childhood in Italy. The uplifting and optimistic sound of Balkan and Gypsy music accompanied me during my long stay in Belgrade.
Listening to Carlos Gardel songs while in Buenos Aires made me closer and fond of Tango gloomy songs and while in Brazil I approached Bossanova tunes and Brazilian rhythms.
Moving to the States I started taking piano and singing lessons and approaching Musicals, Gospel and Jazz in all its forms. I started singing some time ago in a Gospel Choir, then a Jazz Choir in Rome and finally as a soloist. My inspiration comes from the great sounds of Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Duke Ellington, Clifford Brown, Chet Baker, Carmen McRae, Bill Evans, Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker. I am particularly interested in Bebop and Vocalese.
After moving to London my musical studies and performances continued up to the recording of my first CD "Pictures in Tones".
My aspiration is to follow the Music wherever it might lead me!
