Music
" Music has been a journey through time and space. As I experience, evolve and learn,
music accompanies me.
The music I create becomes the soundtrack of each period of my life.
A communion between me, living beings, the world and the infinite cosmos. "

POSITIVE MONKEYS
2008
Positive Monkeys marked the first true chapter of my journey as a songwriter and performer. I started the project at a very young age, writing all of the songs myself and developing them alongside the best musicians I could work with at the time.
The guitar parts were performed by the frontman of the band E-drunk, whose music videos were being broadcast on MTV Italy around 2008. That period was an important beginning for me, shaping my early experience in writing, recording, and performing original music.
SMILING
2026
Smiling stands as a manifesto of release, reclaiming space, voice, and self-respect.
The song is the story of two people meeting- "hi", but if one of them already has a lover then-"bye" .
​
I was going through a long and complicated emotional entanglement with the guitarist of one of my favorite bands, who unfortunately was married. Although I never slept with him, the connection was intense. His feelings were reciprocated, but he never truly made space for them, choosing instead to remain suspended somewhere in between.
At the same time, I was facing serious issues in the house I was living in. Several of us were being harassed by a tenant that was friends with the leaseholders. Nothing was done and eventually I decided to leave. The walls of my ex room became the canvas for an act of artistic rebellion, pouring all the turbulence into art.

THE SEA THE MONKEY AND THE BUTTERFLY
" The Sea, the Monkey, and the Butterfly was first written around 2013 and developed while I was living in Berlin between 2019 and 2020. I worked with a guitarist from Chile and a German industrial techno producer, using Elektron machines to create beats and soundscapes. The guitars went through plugins that sometimes made them sound like an orchestra, which can be heard in the intro. "
​
The track was later mixed and mastered in London in 2024, completing a process that lasted nearly a decade.
FAMILY
Family was written in 2015 and completed during a transformative trip to Nicaragua in January 2025. Inspired by shamanic ceremonies and healing journeys with plant medicine, the track weaves sounds that echo these profound experiences. It is an ode to global unity—celebrating our shared humanity, cultural richness, and the vision of a new, harmonious Earth.
GOD
" God was written before my move to LA in 2017.
The track explores how God lives through us, and how we are God ourself. Deliberate creators in this Universe and Universes.
I revisited it in London in 2025, mixing and mastering it entirely myself.
The approach with the guitars was unconventional and more industrial, like tapping chords on a metallic object rather than playing as you would usually play a guitar.
The chorus draws from the magical, folkloric song “Row, Row, Your Boat,
gently down the stream,
merrily, merrily, LIFE IS BUT A DREAM.”
I had an epiphany using it in the chorus, realizing that its simple words, long lost in time, already held a kind of alchemy, revealing one of the greatest secrets of life: that life itself is a dream.
