After showing early musical promise he became a recognised figure on the jazz scene in Catania, playing regularly in the town's jazz bars and clubs. It was good preparation for his next calling: the highly regarded Jazz Conservatory in Amsterdam. There he studied with Jesse Van Ruller, Maarten Van Der Grinten, Martijn Van Iterson and Ed Verhoeff; he followed masterclasses (by Mike Stern, Shawn Lane, Leonardo Amuedo, Victor Baley, Bill Stewart, Pat Martino, John Scofield, Richard Bona, and Nguyên Lê); recorded a live CD and graduated, not only from the conservatory, but also with a PhD in Chemistry - a course he had been concurrently following. And so the Chemical guitarist was born...
