I'm... a dentist, :-D yes, just a dentist, but I always loved music. I attended, when I was at school, for 4 years a course in a music academy where I learned to play drums. I played 50s and 60s rock'n'roll, rythm'n'blues and twist with a band for about 12 years, then, when each of us has finished university, we unfortunately loosed us and everyone continued its path. I never lost my enthusiasm for music, so nowadays, even if I'm not able to write music, (I'm able to make just music rhythm) I make music by assembling "prefabricated" loops that I find here and at other free libraries, or, if there's someone who needs it, I restore old songs from damaged LPs or tapes.
The only instrument I continue to play are my drums!

Ma favourite artists? Almost all those who created music in the late 40s, 50s and 60s and the 70s disco and progressive rock of late 70s and firts 80s.
My music sounds like... music! :-D
I make music as my inspiration says to me in an exact moment. I made romantic songs, or one like 70s disco, or another as soundtrack for a movie that my frieds has made for a producer. I don't follow an exact genre, but I surely prefer quiet music or the rhythmic one, but as God commands, not like the noise that today still dare to call "music".
