Hi everyone, my name is Raffaele and I was born in Cosenza on July 22nd, 1977. I graduated in Law and did my legal practice in Rome until I obtained my qualification in 2012, so I became a lawyer. I worked in music copyright and in civil law in general. Before that, I attended a sound engineering course at the Accademia del Teatro alla Scala. Since I was a teenager, and also during my studies, I have always been involved in music production, and I was part of a rap band in the nineties and early 2000s.

In 2017 I moved to Milan and kept working in music, helping to found and run a recording studio and a small label focused on rap, black music and indie pop with some friends. My role was mainly studio sound engineer, producer, and contractual and legal consultant.

After the Covid-19 period, I decided to leave my job as a lawyer and start a teaching career, so now I am a substitute teacher in a primary school and I am studying Scienze della Formazione Primaria in Brescia. Besides music, my hobbies include technology, IT, and lately I have become very interested in AI. My favourite sports are sailing, tennis, and skiing.

I'm currently on Erasmus in Valladolid, a city an hour's train ride from Madrid (Spain).

I enjoy reading, listening to music, painting with watercolours and embroidery. My favourite colour is yellow :)
