Between 2013 and 2016 he released several projects as an artist, both independent and under Doner Music (Big Fish), while one of his songs was published by the American label Mad Decent, marking an unprecedented international recognition for Italian rappers of the time.

A&R+2

I work in music as an artist developer and event manager. I support the artists in the construction of their path: from the evaluation of the songs to the positioning, up to the relationships with partners and labels. Before this I worked for two years in SIAE, where I learned how royalties and copyrights really work, and I closed licensing agreements between brands and artists. I am also co-founder of Lossless, a Milanese listening and community building format. In consulting I can help you: - evaluate your project and understand the right time to move - set up a development path for your project - prepare contact with promoters and venues - orient yourself on royalties, registration for collecting societies and rights management - deal with SIAE paperwork (for venue managers and event organizers)
