Music has united people of all nationalities, cultures and social backgrounds since the beginnings of civilization, and I firmly believe that there is no higher and more enduring art form than it. Perhaps equated in effectiveness only with some improvised forms of poetic expression.
The opportunity to express oneself in public, moreover, should be used in my opinion to leave one’s message with the people, be it related to the various aspects of a style, to philosophical and ideological choices as well as, where possible, to hot topics of current events.
I believe that the role of the artist is again related to one’s ability to make one’s voice heard in order to be able to change something, or to make those who have the reins and the means to improve the world see the endless possibilities to act in a different, more fair and equitable way towards humanity, the environment and every living being.
When I think of music, and its various genres, I believe it can be within the reach of everyone, just think of its most rudimentary forms and the ability of simple people to be able to access it in its most instinctive expression.
As a form of spiritual recollection and to accompany meditation it can also be considered the ideal means for a rediscovery of ourselves and a reconciliation with our environment.
I have found myself by getting to know the experience of many bands and professionals I have met over the years. From every musical project I have met, I have been able to evince the strong connection between the songs and the graphic design related to them, as a necessary blending of art forms.
I believe that the true goals to which an artist can aspire are maximum empathy for others, expression of one’s creativity, and the ability to be able to remain curious about what the world of music has to offer.
