Starting his career in Italy, he honed his skills as a resident DJ in Turin and Milan clubs before relocating to London in 2014.

There, he found a new home at The Aquarium, a legendary venue where his weekend sets drew crowds. This move marked the beginning of his ascent, blending his Italian roots with London’s vibrant electronic music culture, laying the groundwork for a global career.

 

Paving The Way
