Hi Salvatore!

Hi Tj and Museboat Live listeners!

Can you tell us more about your background? How did you get to music recording and promotion and how long have you been in this area?

I've been interested in this world for years, I liked and fascinated me! Over time (and with many sacrifices) or started to create my recording studio, my record label / press office. I love adventures and for sure this job is a continuous adventure! You always have to believe in yourself, so you get great results!



What do you think about Radios and Magazines who are involved to promote independent artists?

I think they do a great job! As you! you are fantastic! Thanks to you, radio, TV, webzine etc. you have the opportunity to give space to new talents, to new music! I follow the world of musical dissemination as much as possible and I am really admired by what I see, what I read! You are really important especially in this period, when you give people opportunities to listen to good music and to keep up to date with everything!

Do you have any valuable advice to up and coming artists to get their music to the world?

Believe in yourself! If you have a dream, follow it trust me! Unfortunately you meet a lot of people who think about money and little about the artist and his music, so pay attention to who you meet! Your music will surely revive the due space, you just need a lot of commitment, hope and desire to do through your passion for this wonderful, but sometimes difficult job.

In your experiences, what works and what doesn´t when it comes to music promotion?

Iz´s very important! As said before, you are an important key for us musicisit! Dissemination is the soul for music and for musicians! I love to read and listen to press offices etc. as much as possible. I give a lot of importance to this matter, which is very important for making musical and non-musical projects run better




Your label roster mostly contains rock & metal artists, but did you personally try to compose music in other styles?

Yes yes of course and it was beautiful (laugh) I have produced and played genres such as country, blues, pop etc. It opens your mind! Music is all beautiful, it's not just rock or metal, on the contrary, opening yourself up to other musical types, you grow both humanly and at a musical working level!

Where do you see the music industry in the upcoming years?

I see her aiming for digital and the web a lot! Unfortunately, in the tragic moment we are experiencing, we are moving towards business closures etc. I'd like to go back to the old days, read a paper magazine, see a lot of people at live shows, listen to music on CDs, Cassettes, Vinyls etc. But the web gives you a great opportunity to get your music going around the world! So that's good for sure! so i see the future, work remotely but have the opportunity to travel anywhere!

Is there anything else you want to say to our listeners?

To have your head on your shoulders and believe in yourself! It is a difficult and dangerous world, but with the right strategy and ideas, you will achieve your musical results! You are great and I see that you will surely succeed

We know that you have worked and still work with great artists, can you tell us who you enjoyed working with most?

Yes, in my career I have had the opportunity to work with many great artists: Marty Friedman, Ralf Sheepers, Enzo Donnarumma, Mistheria, Freddy Delirio, Philip Bynoe etc. I believe that there is no one musician more important than the other, from each I learned something, technique, ideas, etc. Collaborations are very useful to grow both musically and humanly! I really thank everyone for the joys they have given me working together!




Lots of big names. oh yes Misteria we have talked with him before in our shows. very nice person. What is music for you?

Music for me is life! It's oxygen! Without it it would be difficult for me to go on! It has always been with me at any time, in any situation, in the form of music or a musical instrument! Every emotion, for me, is linked to music! Not being able to live without ehehh




I understand that, I tell everyone I am a musicaholic (laugh) What is the album you worked on which gave you so much satisfaction, both personal and professional.

Definitely LONG ROAD, my latest album, full of guests, emotions and lots of good music! Thanks also to you who occasionally find it in your programming! It's an album that talks about my life, my passions, my disappointments, my loves! It's a very personal album! It's a mix of emotions and I'm really attached to this record
