Musician

Born in 1996, I started playing guitar at the age of 9, and shortly after, also the piano. I enrolled at SLMC – Rome, to study Jazz Guitar and in September 2020 I presented my final thesis “Brad Mehldau: Compositional analysis and re-adaptation on guitar”.

I later moved to Denmark, where I began my journey as a composer and arranger (Aarhus Jazz Orchestra, Aarhus Sinfonietta), and big band conductor (Lisbjerg Big Band, 2022-23) and continued my activity as a guitarist (GuitarRama, Liberty Orchestra 2022, European Jazz’s Cool ’21). In September 2022 I received an Honorable Mention for my original piece “Sam” at “Scrivere in Jazz” – International Composition Competition for Jazz Orchestra. In June 2023 I obtained the master’s degree in Jazz Composition at The Royal Academy of Music in Aarhus (DK), with Søren Møller as supervisor, working on my first EP “Epitaphs from the Hill” with the Bignami Veltri Jazz Ensemble – 9-piece band co-directed with composer Anna Bignami. In June 2026 our debut album “Non-Places” was released under GleAM Records.
