I accidentally discovered the didgeridoo in the night between June 1 and 2, 2001, at a party in Montallegro, close to Varese, Italy; by the way, it was the same place where, just a year before, the first Italian “didge-meeting” had taken place.

I was immediately both intrigued and impressed by this unusual instrument. However, I only took up playing the didgeridoo the following May. As is often the case, my first instrument was a PVC pipe I had bought in a hardware store for the pricely sum of... 5 euros! 

Many years have passed since then, and what initially was just a way to spend my spare time turned first into a hobby and then into a true passion.

In the course of time I attended several workshops, held by the best didjplayers on the scene. My purpose was not only to improve my technical skills, but also to explore as many different approaches to the instrument as possible.

Keeping this in mind, I thought useful to list the many workshops I took part in, and to describe their subjects. You can find all this in the section titled "My didge training".

In February 2008, a tune of mine, titled "Three Hearts One Beat", was included in the “Yidaki Vol.1” compilation CD, to which contributed some of the best italian and international didjplayers.

In May 2010, Stefano Benini, one of the best jazz flute players in Europe and an accomplished didgeridoo player as well, included one of my tunes, 'Tongue Movements', in the Didjeridoo Made in Italy compilation, released by Azzurra Musica.

I'm currently working on my first 'didgeridoo solo' record. My aim is to release it within the end of 2012.
