Matt Cafissi

Matt

Cafissi started playing the guitar at the age of eighteen under

the influences of the hard 'n heavy rock bands like Mr Big, Van

Halen, Dream Theater etc .



After some years

of self-studying he decided to attend to classes at the famous

and renowned Lizard Institute Of Music, situated in Florence,

where one of the greatest italian guitarists and musicians

Giacomo Castellano (Vasco Rossi, Raf, Irene Grandi) introduced

him into new techniques and styles like Jazz and Fusion.

Very soon he began

composing his own music and put together five excellent demotapes very

well accepted by the specialized critic and the public: he is called

"the new melodic italian genius " and after the appreciation of many

Italian magazines such as Flash, Psycho, Metal Shock, Viceversa and 360°

he reaches the Top Demo in the famous European one Metal Hammer where

the attention for a guitar hero had been absent for years.

Finally Matt managed to

realize his first self produced demo cd Extravaganza with the help of

Emiliano Mammini, Francesco Rossi, Alex Paolillo and Fabio Montorzi, in

Italy distributed by Paranoid Records. In Extravaganza music explores

the new sound of melody and tecniques of tomorrow, pouring itself into

very direct songs and strong emotions.

Now available the first

italian guitar compilation GuitarChef - Volume 1 released in Italy by

Level's Productions and distribuited in U.S.A. by Guitar Nine Records.



Ready the new solo cd

called Heat Of Emotion released for Level's Productions and available
