Musica d’autore “a cappella” A cappella' songwriting. This project was born to gather around the simple form of the song. It tells of the intimate mystery, the magic of life and the joy of small things. It seeks to give sound to gratitude. Gratitude for the generosity of life, for mother earth that nourishes and quenches our thirst. Music to stop, collect and gather. The original compositions, sung in Italian and Neapolitan, are flanked by some reinterpretations of songs by: Ivan Segreto, Luisa Cottifogli, Niccolò Fabi and Eugenio Bennato.

Vocalist, composer, multi-instrumentalist, teacher and choir director He approached music at a very young age and began as a self-taught guitarist and singer in progressive rock groups in the Milanese “undeground scene”. He then continued through experiences in folk and afro-jazz as a singer, percussionist, bass player and composer. During five years of “retreat”, in which he experienced life on a mountain farm in Tuscany, he discovered the power of the instrument-voice and the polyrhythms of the body. In 1992, he met Bobby McFerrin, his great source of inspiration, for the first time. He deepened his knowledge of overtones singing with Bernard Jaeger (CH/D), becoming one of the most experienced exponents in Switzerland. Since the mid-1990s, he has founded and directed various vocal ensembles, including the polyphonic choirs “Goccia di Voci” and the vocal orchestra “Ancore d'Aria”. Since 2004, he has been artistic director of the international festival “Voci Audaci”. He wrote the “Giocando la Voce” method, the result of 25 years of experience as a vocal improvisation teacher.He is also active with solo projects and hascollaborated with, among others: Josè Moran, Luisa Cottifogli, Ivo Antognini, Simone Mauri, Francesco Forges, Thomas Achermann, Anna Oxa.
