Italian singer and songwriter and television personality who gained prominence in the country of Kazakhstan. He is known for his 2012 song "Englishman in Shymkent," a cover of Englishman in New York, and his 2014 songs "You Should Speak Kazaksha" and "Beautiful World." He played locally at clubs in Italy before moving to London and playing for a Beatles cover band. He achieved some success with them but not the level of fame he wanted. He met Kazakh fans in London who convinced him how much he is loved in their country. One of them was setting up a reality singing competition which would become the Kazakh version of The X-Factor called A-Tunes. These factors convinced him to move to Almaty, Kazakhstan.
