Stories in music
What I don't say, I write down and then I sing. Stories about me, you and anybody else.
Always in a precarious balance between irony and melancholy.
Monotony is not my best friend and so every now and then I buy a new instrument to learn and strum: maybe it's so frustrating that it ends up in a corner, or it becomes so special that it ends up in a recording session. I've collected harmonicas, a kazoo, a melodica, a small keyboard, a ukulele, a tin whistle, a viola, and finally a mandolin - so far. The guitar (whether acoustic or electric) still remains my main instrument, my third arm, my second voice, my first true great love, what I would take to a desert island with no hesitation.

I released several pop-indie-folk singles and 2 EPs: LOOP (2023) and Anime Fragili (2024) featuring Tornerà, one of the 50 nominated songs for Voci Per La Libertà Under 35 Award by Amnesty International 2024 and Distratta IMVA winner Oct. 2024 (BEST ANIMATION MUSIC VIDEO). I opened the 1st Sofar Sounds in Prato in 2022 and played at the San Carlo Buskers Festival in San Vincenzo in 2024 (both in Italy). In August 2024 I performed in Dublin and Galway (Grafton Street, St.Stephen's Green, Fibber Magees, Sin É, Ol'55 Pub, Róisín Dubh listening room).
