A: The best is yet to come, since I am working with Elton John's legendary and Grammy Awards winning arranger, Mr Paul Buckmaster... But first..... I have been called by Giuliana Danzè, a young yet known female italian singer, who performed live also on TF1 in France, along with duets with International stars as Dionne Warwick, and she told me she heard a demo of a song I wrote, upon lyrics by Luca Viviani, Giorni Pesanti. She wanted to sing it and we worked togegher with a renowned italian producer in Milan to adapt the song to her voice. Then, as hommage to my musical heroes, the song was mastered at Abbey Road in London... the song and video were aired and broadcast almost all the world round for 7 months.. not bad! .
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Well, I think I bring good melodies with good upbeat and harmonic grooves.. I try to make good pop rock songs suitable for every listener, but a personal mark trying to break clichees.... but I prefer to let the audience express...
