How everything has started

My journey as a professional drummer started when I was just 9, playing live for the first time with my father’s band in Sardinia. From that moment, music became the centre of my life. Over the years, I’ve played with numerous artists and bands across the land since I moved to London in 2016 to study at ICMP, where I graduated with a BA in Popular Music Performance. That experience shaped both my skills and mindset, learning from top-class mentors like Gabor Dornyei and Audrey Riley.

Today, I work full-time as a session musician, both live and in the studio.

My playing has taken me to some of the UK’s most iconic stages, including the Royal Albert Hall, Cardiff Utilita Arena, Roundhouse, Koko, Scala, Union Chapel and more. 
I’ve worked with a wide range of artists like Jerry Heil (#3 Eurovision 2024), Okiem, Natasha Hamilton (Atomic Kitten), Tom Ball (Britain’s Got Talent), ZØYA, Venice Heath, Danny Starr, and many more. 

I’ve also recorded in legendary studios like Abbey Road, Dean Street Studios, and dBs Berlin, working with producers like Brett Shaw (Foals, Florence + the Machine, Gorillaz, and more). I also work remotely from my own studio, always aiming for top-quality sound and creative input.  

Whether it’s live, in the studio, or behind the scenes, I bring passion, versatility, and a strong work ethic to every project.
