Finalista Sanremo Festival della Canzone Cristiana del 2023
It was 1986 and I was 15 years old. I "pretend" wrote a song and played it to my parents saying it was mine. It was actually "Heaven" by Luis Miguel and I don't know why I acted like that. I wasn't a guy who lied or used tricks to assert myself. The fact is that 2 months after this "funny situation", my first real song will be born. I start writing many songs, all songs of the world for the world.
In 1998 (still far from the Lord), a strange event occurred: on August 15, 1998, a song reached me while I was sleeping and I was disturbed. I wake up with a start and record the music in the middle of the night so as not to forget it. Thus the text: is written on the sheet without hesitation, erasures or anything else. This is how Two drops in the sea was born (which is not of the world but I was still of the world) and many other songs (very normal).
24 years have passed since that song, yet if I think back to that text which is expressed in "parables" and to some musical passagesthat mark the transition from earth to sky and vice versa (but I only understood this now), I remain disturbed like that time during the dream. You can listen to it below in the "MY SONGS" section.
In 2003 (always far from the Lord) "A star (without name)" was born. The song prophesied that I would go through a long musical silence and one day this long silence would be interrupted by a voice that would take me to the seashore and write my name on the sand....along with A NEW WORLD TO SING. I didn't lack inspiration and yet after that song.... I never touched a piano again and wrote nothing.
On March 19, 2017, 14 years later and away from Pianos and microphones, my strong conversion at the hands of Pope John XXIII who in two distinct moments (when pronouncing "O Lord, I am not worthy to participate in your table" and 2 hours later in a cemetery), he will violently knock me down on the church altarfirst,
and at the foot of a grave afterward, making me weep violent tears of soul and tearing apart my heart that had been asleep since birth. How did I know that it wasn't a trick of the mind and that I didn't trip over the altar and the grave? Because before I was a man of the world with all the wrong instincts of the world and that day, getting up from that grave where I had been thrown, I found myself "looking" at the world with new eyes and my body had become chaste. Chastity that lasted until my wedding day.
I felt in a new body, I had new, cleaner thoughts but I didn't understand what I had to do, I was disturbed and disoriented. This is how I ask the Lord to give me tools to teach me "true life" and a few months later I find myself following the "Ten Words" PATH OF FAITH which has given me valuable tools for my spiritual growth as well as make me feel beyond loved by the Lord.
It is during a lectio divina ofpath "The 10 Words" that in 2018 I hear clearly whispering to my heart the phrase "GET BACK TO WRITE FOR ME" and here I am.... to be an artist of God.
“HEAVEN” AT 15 YEARS OLD, TWO DROPS IN THE SEA AT 27 YEARS OLD, MY MUSICAL DEATH AT 33 YEARS OLD, MY VIOLENT CONVERSION, THE PROPHECY OF THE SONG "A NAMELESS STAR" WHICH FULFILLED 15 YEARS LATER, ARE CERTAIN PROOF THAT THE LORD HAS BEEN CRAZY TO HAVE ME.
AND NOW THAT HE HAS ME, MAY NO ONE EVER SAVE ME FROM HIM.
