SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
I am a BA Songwriting graduate who is looking for new work experiences in the music industry. I have recently returned from a four months European tour with Penelope Isles, where I have worked as a session musician playing bass and guitar. My immense passion for music is at the core of my lifestyle and my beliefs. Moving from Napoli to Brighton, and finding myself around young and brilliant creative minds has been a huge font of joy. I recognise myself in the values that this city has to offer, such as open-mindedness, inclusivity, and curiosity. I have the strong desire to learn, and I am willing to challenge myself even in roles that I have little familiarity with.

Influences
Growing up in Naples, I was deeply influenced by its Jazz and R&B music scene. Artists like Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder, and Miles Davis had an influence on my style of writing and playing. However, I’ve always been fond of Rock music as well. Since I’ve moved to Brighton three years ago, I’ve immersed myself in the alt-rock and indie music scene, finding it very stimulating and inspiring. Artists I listen to nowadays are Big Thief, Wilco, Cate Le Bon, Angel Olsen etc.
