Biography
I am a self-taught electric bass player, and since I first started playing, about twenty years ago, I've always tried to explore different areas in music, but being jazz my major inspiration. During my musical career, I've played across the whole Italy, but also in North America, South America, Spain, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, getting in touch with many musicians. I want to say thanks to all of them, and I would like to mention:
Art Ensemble of Chicago, Robert Bonisolo, Fabrizio Bosso, Mimmo Cafiero, Giulio Capiozzo, Tony Castellano, Marco Cortesi, Paolo Damiani, Stefano d’Anna, Roberto de Simone, Cheryl Dickerson, Steve Evans, Dato Evgenidze, Claudio Fasoli, Frank Gambale, Maurizio Giammarco, Rosario Giuliani, David Gross, Tom Kirkpatrick, Steve Lacy, Rick Latham, Bob Mover, Jimmy Owens, Thierry Renoux, Corrado Rustici, Antonello Salis, David Sancious, Steve Smith, Mike Stern, Tino Tracanna.

I like playing pop music too, and these are the musicians I've played with (tours or concerts): Balkanija, Peppe Barra, Edoardo Bennato, Eugenio Bennato, Edoardo de Crescenzo, Tullio de Piscopo, Enzo Gragnaniello, Panoramics, James Senese, Daniele Sepe, Patrizio Trampetti, Ike Turner.
But studio recordings, too, is a real good challenge for a modern musician, and here there are some records (but there are many others) I was happy and honoured to record as a bass player:

Teaching, for me, is an important aspect of my musical activity, as I believe in the basic role and in the chance of contributing to the artistic development of electric bass.
• ANDJ - (Napoli)
• POPOFF - (Catanzaro)
• MUSICISTI ASSOCIATI - (Napoli)
These are the most important private schools of music, in which I taught electric bass.
At last, I've finally decided to publish my first own record called FUNGLE CITY, of which I am the author, arranger and producer.
