date of birth:
January 23rd 1989
background:
I've been played drums since the age of 14, influenced by the Iron Maiden mania.
In spite of my low age, I enterd Wanderstorm, my first band and my skill reached a very turning point. After a year I had another chance, joining the progressive metal band, Absynth and the funky metal band Valentine. Thanks to them, my tecniques improved very much learning sycompated time, polyrhythms, odd times etc..
During that period I experienced studio recording, producing various demos with Wanderstorm, Frank Andiver and Valentine and albums with my band and Absynth.
In 2006 I joined Mistyland, a great band, I hope to not disappoint them!
musical inspiration:
My remarkable inspirations and influences came basically from Dream Theater progressive metal, and consequently, from Portnoy drumming.
