Chasing the drum!

Welcome to my homepage where the rhythm of my life unfolds through beats and melodies! I began my musical journey at the age of 8, finding my rhythm on the drums. By 16, I was already making waves in nightclubs. My early education in music took root at the St. Louis Music School in Rome (1977-81), paving the way for a lifelong dedication to my craft. A pivotal moment came in 1988 when I earned a Certificate of Completion from the prestigious Berklee College of Music at the Umbria Jazz Summer School. In 1984, my professional odyssey began with "The Nightworkers," a band that took me to exotic locales like Morocco and Greece during a thrilling two-year stint with Club Med. Subsequently, I became an integral part of the Rocky Roberts Orchestra, captivating audiences across Italy until 1989. Over the years, my rhythmic journey continued with collaborations alongside musical luminaries like Sonny Costanzo, Tony Scott, and numerous others. In 1999, I relocated to the Netherlands, immersing myself in the vibrant local music scene and contributing my beats to various bands and projects. The turning point came in January 2020 when I signed with Bentley Records.io  By September of the same year, I proudly earned the title of Bentley Records Gold Artist. Since 2024, I’ve been part of the Bentley Records.io Inner Circle, and as of November that year, I also serve as an A&R with the label. My latest release features Gucci Mane, and I have ongoing collaborations with Eminem and Drake. Thank you for stopping by – let the music resonate and enjoy the rhythmic tapestry of my journey!
