About

Bio and how they support artists

My music has been licensed in the trailers of many Hollywood movies, including "Fantastic Four", "Minions", "Black Panther", "Peaky Blinders", "The Northman", "My Cousin Rachel", "Split", "The Dark Tower", "Godless", "Acrimony", and "Fahrenheit 11/9". My compositions also appear in many movies, including Michael Moore's "Where To Invade Next" and "Fahrenheit 11/9", and Gabriele Muccino's "Remember Me, My Love". For the last 17 years I've been the in-house composer in one of Italy's biggest radio stations, RDS (over 4 million daily listeners). I have recorded numerous albums of production music and sound design, for labels like BMG Italy, Raitrade, Hi-Finesse, Flipper, Alibi Music, and Selectracks, (BMG’s Los Angeles-based production label). I have written the music for many tv spots, including the groundbreaking 2001 "Findus That's Amore" commercial by McCann-Ericksonn. in 2018 I was chosen by Lacuna Coil's singer Cristina Scabbia to be her vice-coach in that year's edition of the TV talent show The Voice of Italy. I have produced all 6 albums released so far by BELLADONNA, the band that I co-founded with singer/songwriter Luana Caraffa defined by Rolling Stone as "one of Italy's most amazing acts", and of our singles "Let There Be Light" written and recorded with legendary Oscar-winning British composer Michael Nyman, and "Nothing Shines Unless It Burns", made in collaboration with renowned theoretical physicist and million-selling author Carlo Rovelli. Currently, I also serve as Professor of "Theory and Technique of the Soundtrack" at LUISS Business School in Rome, Italy. _______________ HOW I CAN HELP YOU: I lean on my 30-plus-years experience in order to advise and guide artists on all aspects of music creation and performance—songwriting, singing, arranging, rehearsing, recording, performing, and more. I provide in-depth feedback on the material I am sent, focusing on what are its strongest and weakest points, and assessing a way to improve it and take it to the next level - the sound they’ve always envisioned.. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of learning from incredible mentors who had a transformative impact on my journey. That’s why I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned with artists who are ready to grow, evolve, and reach their full potential. If you're serious about your music and want honest, constructive, and experienced feedback, I’d love to hear from you!
