Born: December 15

I am a music composer and producer. I have spent my formative years intensively experiencing the development of the greatest pop and rock music of the music history. After that, I decided to become a musician , increasingly learning in depth the intelectual and emotional side of the classical music, jazz in all its forms , and avantgarde orchestral and chamber music. I became a composer of so called academic music , but instead of following blindly the dogma and ideologies related to the avantgarde music , I let myself be nurtured by other music areas , mainly modern jazz and electroacoustic music and by the newest expressions of visual art. At this stage of my life I'm highly involved in the composing and playing of jazz music : bebop, modal jazz and jazz rock fusion mainly.
