Michele was born in 1976 in Lucera, a small town in southern Italy

It all began when he was 16 years old and took the frets off his bass after having listened to the Jaco Pastorius record ‘Invitation’. 

He couldn’t stop his innate need to understand how a mix of wood, electronics and metal can create such different voices from each instrument. 

 It was a long journey, a whole life as a musician, a few years at the academy of music studying double bass, lots of gigs and lives shows with different bands and different kinds of music. 

 In 2000, a degree at the International School of Violin Making at Cremona ANTONIO STRADIVARI with a great master V. Bissolotti, an accomplished acoustic physics teacher, a few years in a violin workshop in Cremona with violins, violas and cellos, a lot of research, the necessity to play the instrument of his dreams, all the people who inspired him, and a lot of love of wood shavings and the smell of varnish. 

 All his instruments are totally handmade from the drawing to the polishing, his first step is to sit down with the customer over a coffee to plan the project together, focusing on the materials, the electronics, the shape and all the little details to make the instrument one's own. 

 Since May 2007 he is working in Stockholm, making guitars and basses and repairing electric, acoustic , vintage instruments.
