Even though I’ve studied classical guitar for many years and have a Masters in guitar, I have always explored other styles and areas of guitar playing. My main passion and focus over the last number of years has been Latin guitar music. These include flamenco dances,  brasilian choro and bossas, and various other spanish and south american forms. I have also played a lot of Latin and 50s Italian  jazz.

I’m a big fan of songwriting and of song in general and I think Italians are exceptionally good at that. There is a rich history of song on Italy dating back to the beginnings of Neapolitan song, Opera, and Italy’s obsession with cantautori.

Listening to the music,  you will have a glance into my world and the elements that I am enjoying cooking with: RIch melodies, vibrant rhythms, and some authentic virtuosity.
