Description
Hey there!
I’m a keyboardist & pianist who’s happiest when my fingers are either flying over an acoustic grand, coaxing vintage warmth from a Rhodes, or mangling both analog and digital synths. After 20+ years on stages, TV sets, studios and theaters, I’ve learned to keep things tight, musical, and (most importantly) fun.
What I can do for you
- Live Keys & Touring: Need a rock-solid player who can sight-read charts, improvise over your solo section, and still make the tour bus on time? Among the many indie projects, big and small, I also spent four seasons as resident keys/arran
... ger on RAI-2’s Quelli che il calcio (Italian national television) with my band Jaspers.
- Studio Sessions (Remote or IRL): Send me your stems and I’ll add polished piano, lush pads, screaming leads or quirky sound-design layers. I record through high-quality converters and a stack of plugins/hardware, so your mix engineer will be smiling.
- Arranging & Orchestration: Master’s degree in Classical Composition (Conservatorio G. Verdi of Milano) gave me strong education in music theory, composition and orchestration, enabling me to bring nuanced textures and depth to each composition.
- Production & Programming: among the others, I'm producer of ambient YouTube/Spotify channel Inner Cabin - indie Italian songwriter Chibo - Italian rock band Jaspers; I can craft a complete production from my home studio.
- Drums/Percussions: I can play drums and percussions if necessary.
Extra Perks:
- Reliable teammate: Punctual, organized and easygoing
- Endless creativity and multi-style mindset: I had both modern (rock, pop, jazz, electronic) and classical education.
- Friendly attitude: Expect plenty of smiles, creative ideas, and the occasional (tasteful) keyboard joke.
If you’re after polished keys, creative flair and a partner who makes the process enjoyable, let’s make your project sing!
