About

Originally from Milan, Alessandro approaches bass at the age of 15. He quickly falls in love with the instrument, and over the following years he joins and gigs with countless bands, covering most various genres – rock, pop, funk, fusion. He also takes lessons with the well estabilished bass players Riccardo Fioravanti and Massimo Ciaccio.

Alessandro moves to London in June 2011. The original plan is to spend three months away from Milan to study for a bass exam with Lizard, a music school in Italy – but London jam sessions, open mics and gigs loop quickly sucks him in, as he decides to relocate to London for longer – and eventually, for good. In England he participates in several musical projects (most notably co-founding Busto Power Trio, that released two EPs to enthusiastic reviews) and plays various festivals (Fieldview, Festibelly, Standon Calling); he also starts doing consistent function work, first with residencies in London pubs, and currently playing weddings and private events for Vivid, a tight party band with a very busy schedule. He is also currently involved with Lewisburg, a folk rock quartet that’s been playing around London to an increasingly enthusiastic fan base.

In the mantime he continues his music studies with bass gurus Jordan Brown and Alex Lofoco, gets a Grade 8 qualification from the Registry of Guitar Tutors and a Level 6 Performance Diploma with Rockschool, both awarded with a Distinction mark.
