He was involved in several music projects, the most important being the new wave-dream pop Sinking With Love and Pipe's Not Dead !, both in collaboration with his friend Massimiliano Nardulli, and the electro-synth pop project, Klonavenus. Since 2010 he lives in Berlin, where in 2017 graduated the Deutsche Pop Academy with a degree in camera and video editing."

Bound by friendship, they started an artistic collaboration that is still ongoing.
