At 19, an unexpected scholarship from a New York conservatory leads him to Manhattan, where he crafts his art under the mentorship of Jazz legends like Mike Stern and Chris Coleman. He then moves to London, where he establishes himself as frontman of the band KEEMOSABE, releasing two EPs and an album (the first recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios), collaborating with Grammy winner Tommaso Colliva (MUSE, Calibro 35), earning hundreds of thousands of streams and enthusiastic reviews from international magazines like CLASH! and Rolling Stone.

In parallel, he hones his skills as a producer and session man, culminating in collaborations with international pop star Kali Uchis, and Italian singers Noemi, Clara and Inoki.
