You and alcohol. Everybody knows
it’s about “sex, drugs and
rock’n’roll” when it comes to being
a rockstar. Is it just a stereotype, or
does it still exist?

-

I definitely don’t use drugs. But I like
drinking when I hang out with friends,
or to chill out. I am not an alcoholic,
though! I just like to have fun with
other people, have a good time. When
on tour there are plenty of
opportunities to go to parties, meet
new people, drink here and there, so
it’s definitely not a stereotype.
However, you might also go to a party
and get introduced to somebody whom
you are going to start a wonderful
relationship with.

-

What about some other interests of
yours. Last book read? Last movie
watched? Last vacation taken?
I like reading, mainly pulp, noir
genres. The last book I read was “Lost
Echoes”, by Joe R. Lansdale. The last
movie I watched was “The Revenant”.
The last vacation I took was in Sicily,
where my family owns a house. I
really needed some time to relax.

-

As a fellow Italian, do you cook?
What’s your favorite dish?

-

I am definitely not your typical Italian
when it comes to cooking and food. I
know how to cook, but I am not a big
fan of food. I eat because I have to. Of
course, if the food is really good, I
enjoy it more. Maybe the dish I can
cook really well is risotto with
prosecco and rosemary.

-

As a professional musician, what
would you recommend to people

who would like to start a similar
career, and what should they
absolutely try to avoid?
-

Study your instrument with
dedication, but do not get stuck inside
a room. Go out, meet people, be
honest and not opportunistic. Take any
chance you get to play, to develop
your musical skills and keep going
with determination. Dream big! Keep
hoping to become a rockstar but do
not get discouraged if you don’t
become rich or famous! Nowadays
there are many ways to do music for a
living. Earning money through your
passion is always the best thing ever.
