Biography


Siryo was born in Rome, music passion comes to him very soon, he was only 7 years old, after listening to the band Europe, very famous in those years, he saw the video song on TV “Rock the Night” and he was enchanted by the sound of the electric guitar “That sound was something that caught my attention completely as a lure!!!! Whatever I did, I stopped to listen to the fascinating sound of that instrument…..and in that video there was Kee Marcello in all its great guitar style long hair and leather clothing, VERY COOL!!!!
The first time I saw this video I turned to my mother and I said to her : ”Mom I want to learn to play the guitar !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”, it was not hard to convince her and after two days that instrument became mine.

“Riccardo has been one of the best teachers I've ever had, he has a fantastic teaching method, lets you passionate about the instrument and his explanations are always very clear ”.

His first performance takes place at 13 years in a more than original training: two guitars, a keyboardist (used more as a drummer) and a school mate to voice. Siryo soon demonstrated a good student in fact after the first year spent all summer studying a pretty hard track for a music student in the first year: "Asturias" by Albeniz. When he returned to the music school for the second year, Master Scafetta remained not only very satisfied but extremely astonished that such a small boy had all this desire to learn.
