In the same year he was awarded the Best National Young Pianist prize, with the subsequent publication of a CD including the Bach-Busoni Chaconne. Subsequently, he began a concert activity that led him to perform, in recital and with orchestra, in many venues in Italy and abroad, and which earned him the appreciation of audiences and the press for the "brilliance of his technique and the freshness and imagination of his interpretations"[3].

Winner of international piano competitions such as the International Piano Competition "Monopoli"[5], in 2010 he won the John Dankworth Award (Boston, USA) for Best Vocal Arrangement of the year[6].

In 2015 he moved to the United Kingdom, where he obtained a Master of Science in Audio Production at the University of Salford as a scholarship recipient[8].
He wrote the music for a variety of multimedia projects as well as the scores for many advertisement campaigns, including Johnson & Johnson, Mitsubishi, Geico, Comcast, and Mercedes among others[9].
He is part of the Hollywood Elite composers team[10].
