I am a young boy of 26 who lives in Italy, precisely in the south.
I’ve always been passionate about technology, social media, cinematography and many other things.
What’s your main genre ?
I started producing minimal and techno, which in 2008-2012 was very awesome, i released dozens music for years with this genre. Receiving important supports from Fatima Hajji, Umek, Hollen and other known names on the techno genre.
In 2014, together with my partners Camilo Valderrama and Stamen, we published on Spinnin ‘Records, one of the most famous labels in the world in the field of EDM, “Enjoy The Deep“, a deep-house track, with softer and lighter melodies.

2 personal Steps to Success for who want to start a career on the music biz?
- Don’t follow the fashion, don’t copy the music of others, at most take it as inspiration, and then try to create something of your own. Every musician, composer, should have his sounds to differentiate himself from others. Otherwise you’ll always be a copy, one of many!
- With the second, I will be simple and of few words: “Don’t do it for money“. Many kids think that by making music you will become rich and famous. But if you start with this assumption, you won’t go anywhere. You have to do it first of all because you feel it inside, you have to love what you do. Then if you are good at it, obviously success comes gradually
Use the internet to your advantage, always listen to new music, discover what people like to hear on the clubs, always experiment with new production techniques, create something that has not yet been proposed by anyone, ask advice from others in the sector, and learn all you can. Only then can you succeed and become, day after day, the GOAT in what you do.
