BIOGRAPHY
Hi,
my name is Marco and I play the electric bass.
I started my musical journey when i was 6 on a small Bontempi Air Organ my granparents gave me for 1979 Christmas.
Some years later, in 1998, i found myself playing the electric bass after having experimented piano, classic and electric guitar and put the hands over any instrument I had the chance to try.
Since then the bass has been my primary instrument.
​
After a period of self-training, in 2007 I approached jazz an felt ready to jump to the next level. So I started getting lessons from professionists, attended courses in schools and masterclass from great musicians for several years. And sometimes I even had the chance to help assisting them in their lessons.
​
In the meanwhile I played as much as i could in stable formations like the San Fruttuoso Philarmonic's Swing Band of Genova (under the direction of the M.o Paolo Pezzi), the Jazz 5unrise Family, and with other musicians in various other situations and gig.
In 2013 I turned dad and stopped my studies for a while, but still i couldn't been away from playing I continued to play in several situations in different syles like disco dance, klezmer and balcanic, indie rock and pop.
In 2015 I enrolled up to the "SBL accademy" and started again my studies on the bass and music while adding some skills in music production and sound engineering.
At the moment I'm working on two jazz ensamble and a prog rock quintet, plus giving music lessons and offering myself as session man.
