Started to play guitar at 9 years old. Actually work very hard to give my music to more people that I can. On February 2016 my first solo album came out.

Music for me it's a great expression of our humanity. Through music we can learn to enjoy and appreciate all little things life offers to us.
I would like that my music became an instrument to help people, spiritually and economically.
I would start with some people's mind. A lot of us are unable to dream and, worse, unable to follow their aspiration to make it real. If people doesn't dream, everything lost his sense.
Probably Drifting, by the great Andy Mckee. This song signed my approach to guitar in an impressive way. Another song I loved very much was In This River by Black Label Society for the deep emotional charge it can give. But what really impressed me were the live versions of Glasgow Kiss and Damage Control from 2005 G3 concert by John Petrucci: I looked at these videos and I asked to myself If I ever managed to play like that. From that moment I'll start to study guitar better and more.
Like guitarists I think the better are actually Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Andy Mckee, Buckethead and Paul Gilbert. Another great guitarist are for sure Zakk Wylde, Eric Johnson, Andy Timmon, Antoine Dufour and I could continue for pages and pages. Like bands, my favorites are Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree. I think that Black Label Society, Korn and Opeth are really good too.
I take my inspiration from life, I try to put in my music autobiographic sensations and moods, because I think the best way to emotion people it's emotion yourself primary.
With my music I want to explore the deepest side of human's feelings, and induce people to reflect about their interiority. My mission, if you want to call it "mission", is give again to music the sense of art that in this years has lost.
Happy. Simply happy. Like if all that I want is in my hands, and I would never stop to play.
It's hard because there's a lot of "amateurs" and not well prepared people who define himself "musicians". So we have a great proposing, but a really smaller requesting. People often don't understand why they could pay to have music, so it's hard to live with our own music. What should be improved is principally the musical culture in all its aspects. If musical culture will be better, Music and musicians will be better too.
It's a great platform for artists and fans, really enjoyable and interesting, especially now that they have included great features like album reviews and artists advertising.
What really sometimes really make me think that maybe there's no reason to spent so much time to record music searching to be original and creative is the fact that people is always more interested to commercial product and "artists". But never give up: if I don't record and share my music, and as me a lot of other artists, we won't have music as "art manifestation" in a few years.
If a musician that I think he's good have a concert or record a CD, I search to be in the firsts that run to that concert and buy that CD. If we don't do our part as audience, we can't expect someone else do his part as audience for us.
A great communication skill. Without communication our music never will be appreciated. Nowadays a musician has to be also a video-maker and a web-marketer. Be very very good to play an instrument is no more enough.
For sure all underground artists that are not so famous but tat put art inside their pieces of music. I think that a great example could be Plini, or Andy Mckee. They have their success, but they should be very very more famous and appreciated.
