My Passion

"To transmit pure emotions through sound and to create a “vibrant” world, a better one, a world in which words are secondary, and people can freely communicate by opening their hearts without any fear of not being understood. Seeing people during concerts experiencing every emotion sincerely makes you understand that the distance between a smile and a tear is just of few notes played from the heart."

My Desire

"To bring music closer to listeners and, above all, to inspire young people and upcoming generations; I would also love to see musicians amongst themselves more united, stronger and… creative, with many ideas and endless hope for our future.

Therefore, my today aims to motivate and teach young artists to believe in themselves, to discover bravely what they have inside, their natural talents, and to bring out their sincere passion; artists should not have any fear to open up their deepest weaknesses; it IS the courage that transforms us into profound, complete musicians, capable of communicating."

My Music

"What IS music for me? It is the air I breathe. It is always with me and vanished into thin air; music fills it with all the colors of Life!"
