Alessandro Ratoci

Alessandro Ratoci was born in Mugello, Tuscany countryside, in 1980. As a young teenager he chose music to escape his father's and grandfather's well respected life of agriculture and craftwork. He graduated in Composition, Electronic Music and Piano, but dropped the Faculty of Arts, Music and Theater, which he considered more harmful than useless. In 2006, his journey into the music profession begun, he found himself longing for the forgotten opportunities of his ancestors' work. But fifteen years into music studies had left him weak in his physique and poor in manual art.
