About
As a "Rock" musician, I’ve never liked being confined to a single genre. My journey in music has always been about exploring and mastering a wide variety of styles
My passion for music started early, thanks to my father's extensive record collection.
Growing
up, I was surrounded by different genres, which fueled my curiosity and shaped my diverse
musical experience.
Today:I bring this eclectic background to every project I work on
whether it's live performances, composition, arrangements, or music production
Live & Studio
I’ve had the pleasure of playing in various settings, from bands and solo projects to musicals and big bands. My studio experience includes working as a sound engineer at prestigious jazz festivals, composing for big bands, and producing music for artists like Raffaella Cafagna. Some of my ongoing projects include: Roberto Civinelli (Solo Project): My solo work includes singles like "Doin' the Left Thing" and an upcoming record. RaRoAcoustic Duo: An acoustic duo with my fiancée, Raffaella Cafagna. Our performances are energetic, with a repertoire that spans rock, pop-rock, and blues. Raffaella Cafagna & kePsaT: A band where I’ve contributed significantly to the arrangements, blending rock, pop, funk, and soul. ColpaD'Alfredo: A tribute band dedicated to Vasco Rossi, featuring top musicians from across Italy. RockLegend: Atribute show honoring iconic rock legends.
