Alessio was born in Catania (Sicily, Italy) the 10-26-1986.
 

Organist and Keyboardist, he started to play when he was 20. Up to this day, Alessio has had the pleasure to visit more than 100, 16 Italian Country: Sicilia, Calabria, Basilicata, Toscana, Puglia, Campania, Lazio, Abruzzo, Umbria, Marche, Emilia Romagna, Veneto, Piemonte, Lombardia, Friuli Venezia Giulia e Trentino Alto Adige and also UK, France, Greece, Germany, Hungary, Switzerland and USA, in which he played about 280 times, performing passionately the music of The Doors.

Alessio got to know The Doors in 2001, getting caught up by the person of Raymond Daniel Manzarek. Becoming his ‘biggest fan’, Alessio began to play the keyboards as a self-taught musician and also had the chance to perform alive with some of the best electronic organs (Gem, Vox, Farfisa, Gibson and Rhodes piano like Piano Bass of Ray Manzarek).

In 2007 Alessio began to play the ‘the doors’ music with his first tribute band for three years, all around the Sicily and other italian places. Furthermore, in 2010 he saw for the first time his idles Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger in London with the London Royal Philarmonic Orchestra play.

With three fellows from Calabria, in 2010 he started a new band: ‘The Indian Sunset". The indian sunset puts on a precise replication of the ‘60 show, creating a suggestive live experience. In 2014 he met the drummer John Densmore in Perugia (IT).  In 2015 the instrumental piano project "An Instrumental Night" was born, which will tour Italy and Europe.

In 2022 he collaborated with the world tribute "The Doors Alive" (UK) and during the inevitable visit to the United States in the same year, he met Robby Krieger personally at the Whiskey A GoGo in Los Angeles (CA) and performed for a date at Santa Monica with members of the Venice Beach Tribute.

 

On January 7, 2023, Alessio held the world premiere of "Candlelight The Doors" in Paris, France for the first time ever at the Eiffel Tower (Salon Gustave Eiffel).
