About / Biography

Passionate about singing before even speaking properly (I was 4), I started singing in bands in 1996 and from there I went through a lot of music, people, adventures, fun... I had great experiences during those years with bands like Soul in Cage, White Shadows and Mastif. I moved to London in 2011 and I had a great year with the band Hagstone, recording an album and touring in the UK. After that experience I decided to start my solo career and from that point, I've released with 7 albums. I've been gigging around London as a solo artist for about 11 years now, singing my material and covers.

I've played everywhere: festivals, weddings, squares, pubs, restaurants, New Year's Eve, birthday parties... When I perform I always look for interaction and contact with people. I love people singing back and partying with me, but I can also play background music, if you prefer.

I also have a big list of songs (100 +) you can choose from, with different moods, from songs from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, (Otis Redding, America, Elvis, The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Queen, Rolling Stones), lots of stuff from the 90s (Oasis, R.E.M, U2, Pearl Jam) to more modern tunes like Coldplay, Stereophonics or Bradley Cooper (A star is born soundtrack).


I also have many guitars and I can play with the acoustic or the electric based on the songs or based on your preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

Many! I've played in public squares with hundreds of people and in pubs, Halloween gigs are often my favourites, with lots of crazy people around.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Hard to say one artist and one song. I've been influenced mainly by the 90s, where guitars and vocals were the pillars of the song.

I started playing live in 1998, and from there I've played basically everywhere with hundreds of gigs, parties and events across Europe.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

Birthday parties are usually my favourite as people are always relaxed and want to have fun. It's great when I can get them to sing with me, also.

I need about 15 minutes for the setup. I normally play 2x50 minute set, but I'm very flexible.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Absolutely. I can even play in the rain if I have a cover (gazebo, for instance)


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Yes, I'm very flexible. I do everything to accommodate.
