A truly life-changing experience happened during his teenage years becoming the chosen mentee of Senegalese guitarist and composer Peace Diouf which, through intense training that lasted several years  (à la The Karate Kid), offered Daniele an open-minded understanding of world music and sounds.

He has studied classical composition and guitar at the Italian Conservatory, and Film Scoring at Berklee College of Music in Boston with a minor in Africana Studies. Daniele is married to Giorgia (with the I), creator of “MakEATeasy“
