After years of studying opera singing with his father, in 2015 he met his current teacher, the tenor Salvatore Cordella, who admitted him to his Accademia Germogli d’Arte. There, he was awarded best student of the Academy, which allowed him to make his debut at the seventh edition of the Festival Internazionale delle Arti, performing the role of Alfredo in Verdi’s La traviata under Sergio La Stella.
