About Me

I'm an Italian (South African born) English-speaking Producer and DJ based in Rome, Italy. I began my musical career as a small time DJ in Cape Town and vicinity for organized venues and local bars/pubs at the age of 17.

At 21 I moved my skills to Europe and eventually to the UK, where at 23 I began to learn the nuances of sound engineering and music production.

At 26 I decided to leave England and return to Rome to further my production skills and I've been here even since.

Instruments I Play

Basic level keyboard and guitar.

Software I Use

Ableton Live.

Hardware I Use

Focusrite Scarlett 414, M-AUDIO Keystation 61 e5

Listening To Right Now

Most unknowns on Soundcloud and the occasional song on Spotify for ideas and inspiration. I'm more interested in genres than specific artists/groups/bands etc.

10 Favourite Albums

Too many to mention, but I will narrow it down to Sasha's Expander EP, Jon Hopkins' Immunity, Uppermost's Painted Stories, Mint Julip's In a Deep and Dreamless Sleep etc. Also love most EPs from Kid Cudi, Eminem etc.

My Influences / Fav Artists

My style initially was based on a love for 90s Progressive House/Trance, influenced by the likes of DJs Sasha, John Digweed, Spooky, Way Out West, Hybrid etc. Nowadays, I've broadened my tastes to include most genres, including Hip Hop, Drum & Bass and Chill Out.

My Music Sounds Like

From Sasha and Digweed to Childish Gambino and Kid Cudi.

In My Other Life I ...

Work, mostly. I enjoy watching some sports such as football or Formula 1. I also enjoy playing video games, mostly flight simulators and strategies, but I occasionally like FPS and sports games as well.
