Emanuele Affaticati

Singer-Songwriter+2

90% self-taught drummer with many tutors in person and online over the years. I started singing 10 years ago and composing lyrics recorded on Soundreef / Distrokid in the last 5 years making the musical bases with the A.I. In 2024 the first compilation "Labirynt of Life" of 7 songs and 2026 the Compilation "Countdown" of 12 songs in Italian and English was released. I have always played with many covers and tribute bands just for passion without ever seeking the climb to success or making it a real job. So in essence I never lived on it or made any significant income. At the age of 60 I never stop singing and playing, occupying 90% of my free time ... in any context, whether they are rehearsal rooms or improvised jam sessions in clubs. I would like to find musicians to make my songs live in live evenings. English I am a drummer who is 90% self-taught, having worked with various in-person and online tutors over the years. I began singing 10 years ago and, for the past 5 years, have been writing lyrics—registered via Soundreef/Distrokid—while using AI to create the backing tracks. In 2024, I released my first compilation, "Labyrinth of Life," featuring 7 tracks, and in 2026, I will release "Countdown" ("Countdown"), a collection of 12 songs in both Italian and English. I have always played in various cover and tribute bands purely out of passion, never seeking fame or attempting to turn music into a full-time career. In short, I have never made a living from it, nor have I earned any significant income. Now approaching 60, I still spend 90% of my free time singing and playing—whether in rehearsal studios or during impromptu jam sessions at local venues. I am looking to connect with musicians to perform my original material in live settings.
