CURRENT PROJECTS:

The Songbook Chronicles

The Songbook Chronicles is a concept project where I release a song every 8/12 weeks: after a series of 4 songs a thematic EP is released, which includes those 4 songs and some acoustic versions. A total of 6 EPs will be released digitally and subsequently a special triple vinyl will be printed, including all the material. This work is the result of various recording sessions that began in June 2016 and continued until June 2018 where, with a super rhythm section, we recorded 88 tracks, all together live in the studio: some were complete songs, others recorded as a rhythm section were revised and completed. The themes of the EPs are designed as a metaphor for the development of the qualities of the human being: 1 Intro 2 Loving 3 Connecting 4 Transmuting 5 Surrendering, 6 Outro.

My TOP 44 Playlist on Spotify has all the tracks I’ve released so far and much more:

The Blues Way

A return to the realness and tradition of the electric Blues language of the 60s and the golden age of Rhythm & Blues, The Blues Way is the project that begins the journey together with Balta Bordoy, as a duo and quartet. My voice and piano playing and the raw and true sound of Balta’s guitar are finally connected in our debut album Heads Up!, composed of 7 songs I wrote and 4 covers, recently recorded with the quartet a Barcelona. The recording was mixed and mastered by famed producer/guitarist Kid Andersen and features special guests Vìctor Puertas on harmonica and Nil Mujal on tenor sax. Balta and I met and started collaborating in Mallorca (Balta’s home) in 2016 and this project is the fruit of the seed that was planted on that magical island.

Big G & SirJo

Big G & SirJo is a blend of generations united by groove. With Big G aka Luigi Arieta (drummer, singer, producer and MC, 24, resident in Sanremo) we decided to bring together Funk, Rock, Italian songwriting and a touch of Hip Hop, creating a Funk ‘n Roll experience. With Luigi we wrote, arranged and produced every song of this project together, mixing Italian and English. We produced our first album, Danger of Electrocution, containing 10 original songs and a spacey tribute to Hendrix.

OUR FIRST SINGLE CAME OUT ON DEC 24th 2023
and IT’s THE 1st PART of A SINGING EXPERIMENT:

Soulful Spaceship

A project that explores the world of Lo-fi, with slow tempos and electro atmospheres: melodies and lyrics that evoke distant times in the past and future, but which are at the same time rooted in the present. Drum Machines, Synthesizers and arpeggiators mix with electric pianos, voices and acoustic instruments to create an Electro Lo-fi Soul sound.
