"Sure I like country music, I like mandolins, but right now I need a Telecaster through a Vibro-Lux turned up to teeeeeeeeeen!"
- John Hiatt -
I was born, in 1971, in Busto Arsizio (Varese - Italy) and I started to play guitar when I was 14 years old.
My firsts performances have been with different groups in various clubs, playing Rock and Blues.
Afterwards, I became passionate for acoustic guitar music and began to focus on different styles: fingerpicking, flatpicking, alternative tune methods and so on.
In 1998 I obtained the Degree at the D.A.M.S. (Disciplines of Arts, Music and Show), with a thesis on the “Pedagogic Reasons and Aspects of Popular Music using in school”.
In 1999 I became musical consultant, for Mediaset Television Group (the biggest private TV company in Italy and Europe, sited in Milan) but I decided to continue my studies on Musictherapy, Musical Consulting Operating, Arrangements and Afroamerican Music.
I like very much to teach, so I regularly teach guitar in different schools of music.
During these past years I had the chance and pleasure to performe with some of the most important artists of the international guitar panorama, such as Tommy Emmanuel, Stephen Bennett, Thom Bresh, Buster B. Jones, Jim Nichols, Carl Verheyen, Beppe Gambetta, Muriel Anderson and many others.
Since the year 2000 I have performed with singer Anita Camarella and in 2002 we recorded an album titled “Quei motivetti che ci piaccion tanto!”, an homage to the Italian Swing of years ‘30s and ‘40s.
We have toured extensively in Italy, in Europe and in the United States and Radio Stations of Portugal, Argentina, Brazil, Hungary, France, Tunisia and Italy have decided to broadcast our music.
In 2003 I recorded my first solo album, titled “Juley”, dedicated to my own compositions for acoustic guitar (featuring Raf Montrasio, guitarist of the well appreciated Renato Carosone’s sextet in the ‘50s).
You are listening the sound of Fabio Munari guitars.
Guitars decorations are made by Anita Camarella.
