I was born just 15 miles outside of Venice, Italy. The place is called Padova but in English it’s spelled Padua. I don’t know why. Anyway, that was April 2nd 1976. Mine is a musical family. My father, who used to be singer and bass player for a renowned Italian '60s beat band "I Solitari", exposed me to many genres of music since an early age. My aunt was part of a madrigal choir and many times during my childwood she would take me to reharsals. Thanks to my mom I also got to know a great deal about R&B, especially Stevie Wonder. When I was 8 I got my first piano lessons. Though the lessons ended in a few months, the playing never stopped. Three years later I added drums to my repertoire. That changed everything. In the late ninties, I left the mother country on a big steam ship with nothing but a pair of sticks. Okay, it was an airplane and I had a luggage, but to me it was a big deal. In New York, studied at the Drummers Collective and at New School University where I got a BFA in Music Performance. While still in school I worked regularly with a piano trio at the Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center. Once that was over I took part in various projects, some of which are still up and running. During a recent trip to Senegal, Africa I was aka-named Fallou. The name is a reminder of peace and serenity. Here's a list of friends (with their links) I've been working with lately: Debbie Harry Marc Ribot The Jazz Passengers Roy Nathanson Ron McClure Tim Armacost Lionel Loueke Jon Hendricks
