He continued his studies with Francesco Buccarella. Some months later he wrote his first piano composition ‘Ora che noi’, which was performed at the year-end show and much appreciated. He then wrote other melodies which made him known to other musicians. In 2011 he became the keyboardist of an Apulian band with which he started to perform live and won a competition for new groups.
