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). Check all my music at the dedicated page!
​
I mostly played around Tuscany and the most recent and remarkable performances were: STRADARTE in Galliano nel Mugello (Florence) in July 2025, the Buskers Festival in San Carlo-San Vincenzo (Livorno) in April 2024, the Firenze Suona Contest (2024), the Music for the Body Tour by Tezenis & Openstage on Via Calzaiuoli in Florence (October 2024) and also the first edition of Sofar Sounds Italy in Prato in June 2022 (returning again in June 2025.)
​
In August 2024 I performed in Ireland, especially in Dublin and Galway, for some solo acoustic opening acts,
busking, open mic events and jam sessions (Grafton Street, St Stephen's Green, Fibber Magees, Sin É, Roisin Dubh and Ol'55 Pub).

And we're not done yet!!!!
