Going Nowhere (Enjoying the Ride) was my first album and 'Time is Amazing' is one of my favorites from that album.
I've poured all my passion and my experiences as a young man into every note of those tracks. Recorded over 2 days in the spring of 2014, with some incredible Italian jazz musicians.
Recording and releasing this album was a milestone moment in my artistic development. A journey that spanned continents, cultures, and emotions.
At that point in time I had graduated from the "G. Rossini Conservatory of Music" and traveled through most of Europe and Australia, meeting hundreds of incredible musicians, busking on the beautiful streets of Sydney, London, Paris, Rome, etc.
I also played each and every gig I could find, with all kinds of bands, musicians and DJs. Little by little expanding my musical horizons, acquiring knowledge, feeling and taste.
My journey then took me to Berlin, where I refined my jazz chops.
I played hundreds of shows around the world with my quartet and supporting other amazing musicians.
Then, in 2020, when live music went away, I took that as an opportunity to search for new avenues to release and monetize my music. I found an answer in blockchain technology.
With no limitations imposed by traditional standards, I let my creativity run wild.
I released my first album on Ethereum in March 2021, 'Nifty Sax Genesis', followed in September 2021 by 'Spheres', which was a ground-breaking success.
My success inspired me to co-found Nifty Music, a music NFT incubator helping fellow artists create their own successful projects.
Nifty Music projects collectively generated over $1 million to-date for our independent artists and their communities.
And here we are now at the present moment, with yet another important milestone, the first music NFT I release to include music from my back catalog.
