Filippo’s Biography
Music has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, all the way back to Cagliari, Italy, where I was born and raised. During these formative years, alongside studying classical guitar, private tuition in jazz guitar particularly fuelled my passion for modern styles, with the music of Jimi Hendrix, Santana, Led Zeppelin, and Pat Metheny providing a window to the fascinating world of rock, jazz, and blues.
Nowadays, as a freelance session guitarist and guitar tutor, I have a wealth of experience in live music, studio recording, session playing, and songwriting and enjoy the versatility and creativity of working across a wide range of musical genres, from pop, soul, funk to acoustic folk and rock.
I have worked with some superb musicians and have performed for a whole host of events and venues in London and surrounding areas, such as Cargo, Tobacco Dock, and The Water Rats. I have a list of musicians I work with – a combination of session work and live performances – and I also offer one-to-one guitar tuition. During the school holidays, you may find me working at children's holiday camps as a guitar tutor. Gibson Les Paul Standard, Charvel DK24, Taylor 214ce and Cordoba C5-CET are my go-to gear to give me the versatility to cater to a broad range of styles and genres as needed. Over the lockdown, I took the advantage to refine my technique and work on my YouTube channel. My personal style is a mixture of different genres like rock, soul, funk and fingerstyle. Read More
