About Me

am a seasoned guitar player and educator with 16 years of experience across Italy, Germany, and the UK, specializing in genres such as rock, pop, punk, metal, ska, reggae, soul, funk, and jazz. My performances span numerous clubs, jam sessions, and venues.

I hold a degree in Jazz Performance from the University of West London (London College of Music), obtained in 2022, and currently serve as the Head Teacher at Music Mission School in Hackney.

Teaching is a profound passion of mine, as it allows me to impart my deep enthusiasm for guitar and music to others, particularly the younger generation, which fills me with immense gratitude. I firmly believe that music can significantly enhance one's life, fostering increased awareness, intelligence, and an appreciation for beauty.

While the guitar can be challenging to learn initially, as students progress, it becomes increasingly accessible. This journey reveals the vast array of expressions and sounds the instrument offers, making it an exceptional medium for creativity.

I adopt a courteous and approachable demeanor with my students, understanding the importance of conveying complex concepts with a calm and composed attitude.
