About meI'm an Italian singer, voice teacher and university researcher based in Helsinki, Finland. I have over 15 years of experience in stage performing and teaching – mostly in the genres of rock and heavy metal. In the last few years, I've covered lead vocals duties in the bands Skiltron and Seraphiel, and worked with other bands and artist such as Beast In Black, Rhapsody Of Fire, Leverage, and Erkka Korhonen (producer or Raskasta Joulua, Northern Kings and Urban Tale).
I'm currently pursuing a Doctorate of research at the University of Helsinki, where I concentrate my endeavors on rock and heavy metal singing practices and vocal physiology. At the same university, I've also taught the successful international course series "Heavy Metal Music in Contemporary History and Society" since 2015. In 2015, I participated in the of Voice of Finland Season 4, and chose Tarja Turunen's team. I currently teach fluently in three languages: English, Italian and Finnish. Although my primary focus goes to rock and metal music, I regularly teach a large variety of music styles, ranging from classical, jazz and funk to pop, singing-songwriting and blues. |

FAQ
CAN I START TAKING SINGING LESSONS AS A BEGINNER?
Of course you can! There are no specific requirements for studying with me. Having fun and working hard toward improving yourself are more important than your starting point.
WHY HAS IT BEEN SO HARD TO LEARN BEFORE?
Because learning new things and competences is not always a linear and challenge-free process. I can help you find a more direct and motivating way to improve your musical and vocal skills.
WHAT IF I HAVE A FEAR OF PERFORMING?
Fear of performing, also known as "stage-fright", is a very common trait. You wouldn't believe how many people have to deal with it! I can help you develop inner calm and balance, and become more confident in your abilities.
IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT FOR SINGING LESSONS?
There is definitely no age limit, you can learn and improve yourself at any point in your life. Nonetheless, for reasons of educational background and personal choices, I prefer working with adult students (15 years old and older).
WHY ARE YOU A SINGER?
I wasn't good at playing football! (seriously)
MEANING OF LIFE?
Monty Python.
