Musical Background: My passion for the music started since I was a child, but only in the summer of '92 I touch a guitar for the first time, instrument for which I nourish an unbridled passion. I started to think that music belongs to my life, so I decide in 1999 to seriously study the instrument, first with Michele Cannella, after with Luca Longhini. In 2003 I also start to take Singing Lessons with Gloria Aleotti. From here I start to collaborate as temporary guitarist with different bands and artists as Luca Longhini, Renato Droghetti, Big Leo, F.P.C.; in 2005 I entered the band Dark Stalkers (tribute to Iron Maiden) as lead singer. In 2002 I found O.D.U that become Ophiura in summer 2006
