Since childhood, I've always been a great lover of music. At 13, I had my first encounter with Rock! Since then, no matter where I live—whether in the countryside or the capital—I've always been actively involved in the music scene. I attend concerts and festivals whenever possible, in a constant search for new sonic experiences that broaden my repertoire and my passion for music.
