Bands

In addition to the list of bands below,  I was asked to join some international acts (Joe Cocker, Alex Lloyd, Jahmelia, Geri Halliwell) to perform on tv for some of the biggest Italian music shows, from 2000 until 2006.

Stout - the  very first band I joined in 1984; I got a couple of drumsticks and sat at the drumset! Ready, steady, go...and the journey begun.

Peppercorn Blues Band - it's all about Blues; I was the drummer and we played tracks of the greatest bluesmen of all times (1986/1988)

Street Beaters / Radiosoul - they needed a bass player, and I bought my first Fender Precision! Soul baby, soul...(1988/1991)

Loudspeakers - Grunge years? I'm in! In a few months we wrote about 30 instrumental rock tracks! Some of them are now on I-tunes (1993/1995)

Street Tease - From Loudspeakers to Street Tease: a female vocalist joined the band. A 4-track cd-ep was relesed in 1996

Gasoline (Deborah Leali) - I joined Deborah Leali's band on bass to promote her debut cd on Sonymusic in 1996; many live shows followed.

Lisa Scacchi - She 'discovered' me at a Gasoline gig...and I moved! It's only rock'n'roll ... and I like it. (1998)

Outmean Rick -  'Melodia' was tthe only single released on EMI in 2001, rereleased in UK in 2002 and licensed all over the world.

Bianca - Back in the saddle again! After a few years playing 'for others', I'm in a real band again! (from 2006 until now)
