About me

Hello

I'm

Video, audio and general media producer

I was born on March 1984 in Reggio Calabria, a beautiful city in the South of Italy and in the center of the Mediterranean Sea. Since I was a teenager, my beloved grandmother let me love music and I spent hours listening her playing piano. That's why I'm passionate about music from a very young age. I still remember my first performance as DJ: I was just thirteen! I started my career very young and this allowed me to experience my passions and to transform them into my work. Over the years I studied photography, graphic and web design, programming, music technology and film making. In 2010 I founded my first company, the "Real Fat Studio", and only a few years later in cooperation with other companies I founded the collective "Tanto di Cappello Production". Thanks to my job, I'm often travelling around the Europe but, currently, I live in Italy where I started the "Monkey Hat", a company specializing in video and media contents and working with many companies around the world, some of which chose me as their ambassador.

Video Making

2010-Today

The passion for arts has always characterized my soul. In 2010, customers in my recording studio started to demand new services. One of them: the production of music videos. Having studied photography at the University of Communication Sciences the challenge it was accepted and about a year later my company becomes a reference point for South Italy artists who get "360 degree assistance" for realizing their artistic projects. The call for new services and the workload grew up much more and in 2015, along with other partners, I founded a multimedia collective called "Tanto di Cappello Production”. I currently started a new company called "MonkeyHat" specialising in audio, video and media productions. productions.

DOCUMENTARIES

Joining my passion for videos with travel is one of the best things for my inner happiness. It's the mood of my life. Relate an event, describe the production chain of a factory, tell about a person's life through memories, "tell to the world" with simple words a company and how it works in its industry. Here some examples.

MUSIC VIDEOS

Today in the Facebook and Youtube era it's crucial for artists and bands have a high-quality music video that is able to excite the audience. My mission is to tell stories through pictures. Here some of the music videos I've worked with.

COMMERCIALS

The world of communication has reached a level of maximum diffusion so the quality of the product sold and "how do you sell it" is crucial. Meeting the needs of an increasingly demanding market represents a constant challenge for those who want to remain anchored to their own style and tradition constantly renewing itself. Here some examples.

RECORD / MIX / MASTERING

Music is my life. Over the years I got to work with many (more or less) famous worldwide artists and this has enriched my skills and increased my "music conscience". I won awards as artist and mix engineer. This is why I consider myself a professional in this area. It's a great satisfaction for me to pick up the ideas of my customers and turn them into a song (all this thanks to a selected team of musicians of course).

AUDIO ENGINEERING

As sound engineer I designed many rehearsal rooms, pubs, concert halls and theaters all around the South Italy. But my customers are not exclusively artists. I work as external expert with lawyers for phonometric surveys, transcription and eavesdropping. I provide advice for all types of business, designing soundproofing and acoustic treatment.
