Talented pianist, composer and conductor, he graduated in conducting from "Conservatorio 'Giuseppe Verdi'" in Milan.

Throughout his career, he wrote or co-wrote more than 500 songs, including Heather Parisi's disco smash hit "Disco Bambina", and Loretta Goggi's "L'Aria Del Sabato Sera", respectively the opening and closing themes of TV show "Fantastico" (1979).
