In 1995, his decision to pursue his other passion, music, together with his twin brother, brought him to Saluzzo, a small town in the province of Cuneo, near Torino. While working on his music, he continued working as a freelance graphic designer for advertisement projects in Saluzzo, Cuneo and Torino. HIs musical career brought him to London where he continued his work as a graphic designer in BT Openworld internet portal. In 2000 he moved back to Macau, where he worked as a free-lance graphic designer until 2003. Soon afterwards his music career took off. In 2016, he has begun to explore his first passion, painting. With watercolour as his primary medium, he is developing a language of his own, drawing also from his experience as a graphic designer.
