Biography
Born on the 19th January of 1970 as son of Italian guest workers, I discovered the passion for music pretty early. With the age of eight I got my first guitar and with the age of 14 I got my first band. With 16 I produced my 1St MC , titled “Wonderful Times”, and so I started to earn first money on several gigs. Following this, further productions were made with miscellaneous producers . At SAT1, SRTL, and other private TV-and radio stations I performed several shows.
I started to get international, meaning that I performed in several countries all over the world, just like Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Fuerteventura, Cuba, and even in the Dominican Republik.
1999 I joined the German Army again, and went to the German part of NATO KFOR in the Kosovo for six months. During that time I was inspired to the album “Time Tells About his Moments".
While stayed in the Kosovo I wrote the book "Carnauba Hill"; telling the everyday life of a soldier in an ironical and comedic way.
