About Me |
|
| Guitarist and composer; Winner of the Guitar Institute Best Guitarist Award for the Degree Course-Academic Year 2005/2006. I love music and I love improvisation no matter what's the style I'm dealing with (and yes I could improvise on a metal tune) cause this way music remains fresh. I work both as jazz guitarist and session player (and yes i can play other styles other then jazz). My stronger influence as Musician comes from my real "Maestro" and friend Mr. Gianni Cataleta. You should check him out as He is in my top friends list. Occasionally I also like to collaborate with artist if I like what they are doing so if you need me just get in touch as I am good at sending guitar parts over the net.
