Thank you Tokyo!
My time in Japan was just amazing. It was the first time for me and I loved it! For some reason it felt like home, I felt a deep connection with those places and people. If you follow me on my Instagram you must have seen all the pictures and videos of my holiday. In this post I want to publish the nice memories of my visit to three record stores in Tokyo. I thank all the people who passed by to say hello. I was too excited to take pictures but I could receive some after. Dis

2026: a fresh start!
Dear followers, Happy New Year to everyone of you. 2025 was a tough one (like most of these last years indeed!), but also full of interesting things in music. Personally I am very proud of what I could do: it has not been always easy but I kept on believing and working hard to evolve and concretise my projects. I do all of this because I think that the power of Music is very strong and it can go beyond the boundaries of conscience. The world is messy and the present for human

My new album is finally OUT!
I am so happy to announce that my album Looking back moving forward is finally out TODAY! In order to celebrate this achievement I decided to publish a videoclip of one of the tracks: "Al di là delle idee" is a soft ballad composed on a real Rhodes piano in which I sing in Italian: it came out naturally in a very Italian progressive rock style. The videoclip is a simple take of some intimate moments in the music studio: B106 is an artistic association in Switzerland which pr

Looking back moving forward: album tracklist reveal!
Here's the tracklist of my new album Looking back moving forward . As you can notice, this time it's quite a long album, and it's also a peculiar concept: inside the album there's the so called Dreamcore bubble : it's a bunch of songs that form a sort of "bubble", a mini album into the album itself. I'll reveal more about that in the next weeks. Stay tuned here and on my social networks PRE ORDER the album HERE Watch the official trailer HERE Ecco la tracklist del mio nuovo a

arpMANIA: the new single out!
Hello followers! In these hot days we need some fresh new music to listen to and to give us the sensation of a fast ride on a summer night road. This electronic composition is entirely produced by me and plays around two different arpeggios, a synth one and a piano one, melting together for an epic end. I hope you like it. It's a part of my "electronic universe". In the meantime I'm also working on my solo album and some very vintage and prog stuff. Stay tuned for future news
