Since 2003 I have been studying fingerstyle, attending acoustic guitar lessons by the great guitarist <strong>Paolo Giordano</strong>.<br /> Over the years I played with various local bands, throughout all music genres.<br /> I attended a lot of workshops, such as ones with <strong>Brett Garsed, Andy Timmons, William Stravato, Antonio Forcione, Pietro Nobile, Massimo Varini, Stochelo Rosenberg, Andrea Braido, Preston Reed</strong>, and so on.<br /> In 2006 I attended Computer Music and HD Recording workshop by <strong>Roberto Giglio</strong> in Galatone (LE). During the same year I began studying jazz. In 2007 I played with the prog rock band <strong>Shedim</strong> and recorded with them two self-produced promo CDs ("Shedim" and "Indietro...nel vento"). <br /> <br /> In 2010 some compositions of mine were used in a science documentary and as a soundtrack inside Ecology Museum in Otranto (LE). <br /> Since 2007 till 2011 I have been guitarist and co-founder of the band<strong> Silvered</strong>. I recorded with them in studio ("Music For Your Sleepless Nights"; “Dying Light” e “Grave of Deception”) and live (“The Unplugged Night LIVE”), I performed on radio and TV programs and to many sections of webzines, I performed hundreds of gigs. <br /> In 2008 with this band I opened to<strong> Andrea Braido, The Foreshadowing and Rezophonic</strong>. <br /> In 2011, I started the path on neofolk music, as the band's guitarist <strong>NID</strong> with whom I recorded a promo cd "Nature In Disguise" and in 2013, after several gigs in Italy, with this band we gave birth to our first full-length on the label "<strong>La Esencia</strong>" entitled "A Fair Masquerade". <br /> In the same year I begin to work on my first solo project <strong>HELFIR</strong> with which I perform alongside the band <strong>Antimatter</strong> in their Italian tour. <br /> I am currently involved in the promotion of my first solo album "<strong>Still Bleeding</strong>" on the label <strong>My Kingdom Music</strong> and at the same time continue my live performances in various cover and tribute bands (<strong>MIDNIGHT RAMBLE, SKUNK HEADS, BLACK GARDEN and BLOODFLOWERS</strong>).">
