PICA

I’ll try to make a summary of the most important moments of my musical career, focusing mostly on the opportunities and significant people I was lucky or unlucky to meet during my way.

I started writing songs since I was a child, but my musical career began at the age of 18, when I met my first band Wangy Blues Machine and started making gigs around pubs in Brianza. As my main goal was to sing my songs, after a few years  I decided to quit my band to start my own project. Then I met the producer Pino Laudadio, with whom I tried to make my way in the music business. First of all I recorded some dance songs with Level One label (Freedom, Not for you and Jump) The last one is included in the compilation Italo Mega Dance and afterwards I recorded two singles written by me with Setticlavio Edizioni Lebel. I founded my acoustic trio Rossoporpora, firstly with the guitarist and arranger Carlo Montoli and subsequently with Marika Lion, bassist pianist and coauthor.

​

Time went by together with my first opportunity when I became acquainted with the producer Mara Maionchi, but I let her get away because I didn’t follow her requests to change my songs somehow. In the meantime I obtained some rewards thanks to some music competitions: 1st place at Jubil Music with Daniele Guastella at Ariston of Sanremo, 2nd place at Musicacontrocorrente with the song “L’ispirazione del momento”, Prize Sergio Endrigo and Prize Guido Gozzano for the best lyrics at Biella Festival.
