I play acoustic, resonator and flamenco guitar. I Actually work with some studios, and i record guitars in different styles. I speak English, Italiano, Español, Português.
I've worked with many italians mainstream pop artists like Irene Grandi, L'aura, Carmen Ferreri and Irama. With Irama i've recorded the guitars of "Nera" (4 platinum song) and "Arrogante" (2 platinum song), Warner bros label.
I've recorded a solo acoustic album, called "Ya go go".
I've studied Jazz at the Conservatory of music "Antonio Vivaldi", Italy, and flamenco guitar at the "Cristina Hereen" school in Sevilla, Spain. Then I've moved to Portugal for study Jazz composition at the University of Music "Mateus Aranda", Evora.
You can send to me the song (Mp3, Wave, Aiff..as you prefer), i listen everything and then we can find together the best solution for your song. I will send to you the guitar (or guitars) in every format, bitrate and sample rate you want.
I can improvise or write parts.
