I have literally sailed the seven seas with Ezio. We got to know each other a few years ago when I started playing with the super band called The Tree Gees, a group dedicated to spreading the music of my idols, the Bee Gees. We have played countless gigs internationally, and are often guests as interport artists on cruise liners.
"Zac" is a passionate and cultured musician, with a character that is a curious fusion of Neapolitan fire and Buddhist calm!
He was the obvious choice for my song "Are You With Me?", with its Barry Gibb and Burt Bacharach influences.
Thank you, my dear friend!
