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
