Biography
In 1950 he began to record his first discs for the record company Cetra, with the Anepeta and Vinci orchestras. The following year he participated in the Piedigrottissima della Cetra with other singers, including Aurelio Fierro and Eva De Paoli. In 1953 he took part in the Piedigrotta Abici, interpreting Nisciuno by Antonio Vian and, in the same year, he participated in the magazine of Amedeo Greco Poesie e Canzoni with Tina De Paolis, Agostino Salvietti, Aurelio Fierro and Alberto Amato. The following year, in 1954 he was in the cast of the second Festival di Napoli where, in conjunction with Katyna Ranieri, he performed Canta cu mme. The other song proposed entitled Ched'è l'ammore, dubbed by Carla Boni, had less luck and was eliminated in prime time.

In 1955 at the Piedigrotta Bideri he proposed the tune 'O 'nzisto and, in the same year, he participated in the 1st Festival della Canzone Italiana e Napoletana organized by the Anepeta orchestra.
In 1957 he changed record label passing to Aldo Scoppa's Vis Radio and participated in the Festival di Napoli with the songs Passiggiatella and Tutto me parla 'e te. In the meantime he participated to numerous programs of variety with Tecla Scarano, Alberto Amato, Aldo Tarantino and others.
