CURRICULUM VITAE

Updated: February 2008

I am a pianist specializing in piano bar entertainment. I try to use my charismatic appeal to entertain the public in a soothing but pleasant way. In fact, as I do believe in music as a form of language, my aim is to convey the contents of its message with all the implicit charm.
My dedication and love for music were in part inherited from my parents and completed with a base of study. Furthermore, a passionate self-teaching drew me in search of a refined interpretation expressiveness.
My first public appearance was at age thirteen in a rock-band and for the next ten years I gained artistic experience performing in orchestras and bands.
At present, I sing in five languages: italian, english, french, spanish, portuguese (brazilian) and have a repertoire of over 3000 pieces spanning all classes of music.
Where singing is not required, I avail myself of a good pianism; charming and discrete but colorful and rich of nuances at the same time.
I perform either with traditional piano or electronic equipment of my own.
Nowadays, I have specialized my performances for hightoned outlets, like French and Italian restaurants, high-rated and classy pianobars as well as theme evenings based on whatever my repertoire can afford.
