Biography:
I've started playing piano and classical music when I was 11 and in one's early teens I've learnt to appreciate symphonical music. At the age of 13/14 I've had the real first contact with rock music, listening to the legendary sound of Jon Lord's hammond, in these years my interest was mostly addressed to 70 & 80's hard rock so I've started to learn how to play electronical keyboards and hammond clones. Around the age of 18 I decided to study music on my own and, following my personal passion for Scandinavian Culture, I got closer and closer to metal music, starting from epic power and death metal in particular, and following with viking that today are still my biggest influences. In the recent past I've cooperated with the guitarist Francesco Fareri and with the American drummer John Macaluso. In 2011 starts the militancy with DragonhammeR.
