03 / BACKGROUNDITALY → LONDON
It started with a drum kit.
Hands on the desk. Music at the centre.
I was a drummer before I was an engineer. Listening to the people on stage is still where my work begins.
Touring taught me to adapt quickly to different rooms and production teams. I bring that same preparation and calm communication to every show.
