I was born in Bellinzona, Tessin - Switzerland in May 1965. At the age of 5, I started my music "career" in a Polyphonic Classical Choir as contralto. At the age of 10, I was completely able in writing and reading music...A little "genius".
From 1980 to 1990, I toured around the world with "Choir Cantori della Turrita" ==> In English, it could be translated as "Turrita's singers Choir".
We sung around Europe and Asia, singing music written by Giuseppe Verdi, Sebastian Bach, Mozart and Igor Stravinsky.
We had a wonderful success when we recorded Mattheus Passion by J. Sebastian Bach with complete Symphony Orchestra (+100 musicians, Adult Choir and Children Choir {Tenor, Soprano and Contralto}).
Between 1991 and 1996 I stopped my music career; reason for, I became mother twice, in 1992 and then in 1994.
During my Classical Music Career, I was (and I still do) listening tons of different music. Rock, Metal, Blues, Jazz.
With the years, I still listen my loved bands as Withesnake, Pink Floyd, Rush ... Put in this way, "70 and "80 were the best years...
My Sons tell: "'70/'80?? of course Mom, you are getting older" ha ha ha
You'd take my place in explaining to some musicians that their music is not going anywhere because it is not great? Nowadays music biz needs great music to make money ... No label would invest if the product would only be good! MUST BE MORE THAN GOOD!
Give me good music and we will rock the world!
Specialties: Let me to tell you something!
When people said to you “ Spend money on quality instruments and equipment”... you did that. When they said “Spend time and money on practicing and rehearsing”, you did that, for the most part . When they told you “Spend time and money finding the best recording studio, producer and engineer you can”... you also did that. Well, nobody until now has told you “Spend time and money learning all you can about the business of music”. But I just
did! So...do it!

Often hailed as one of the best musicians and best band by Brazilian musician magazines, it is almost impossible to read a music magazine in Brazil without seeing interviews or advertisements from DR SIN. Their first presentation in Brazilian mainstream media was at the Hollywood Rock Festival in 1993, sharing the stage with Nirvana and L7.
In 1993, they took their chances in the USA, and after a few concerts there, they were signed to Warner International with their first album (DR SIN), being released in nine countries. Their second album (BRUTAL) was released in Japan under the name (SILENT SCREAM), followed by the album (INSINITY) and the live album (LIVE IN BRAZIL). The LIVE ALBUM was part of an Yngwie Malmsteen box-set.
The album (INSINITY) featured some very special guests. One was Jonnathan Mover (former drummer of Joe Satriani, Alice Cooper, Saigon Kick and Einstein) on the song “Insomnia”, and Silvio Luiz, one of Brazil’s most famous sports commentators on the song “Football, Women and Rock’n ‘Roll “, which would become one of the band’s biggest hits. In 2000, DR SIN released another album (DR SIN II) in a very unusual way (DR SIN II) in Brazil. It was distributed via newsstands all over the country.
The biggest surprise on this album was the presence of Michael Vescera on vocals, a famous American singer and former member of Yngwie Malmsteen, Loudness, Obsession and MVP. Other special guests were guitarists Sergio Buss (Steve Vai, Tritone) and Roland Grapow (current Masterplan and former Helloween member).
In 2002, a DVD and a double album, were recorded live in São Paulo, celebrating the band’s tenth anniversary, entitled "10 ANOS AO VIVO".
Their next CD was a covers album with all of the songs containing the word DOCTOR in their titles, such as “Calling Dr.Love” (KISS), “Rock and Roll Doctor” (BLACK SABBATH), “Dr. Feelgood” (Mötley Crue), “Doctor , Doctor “(UFO),” Dr. Roberts “(Beatles),” Somebody Get Me a Doctor “(VAN HALEN), among others.
In 2007, DR SIN released BRAVO, their eighth album, which was based on the facts and feelings that human beings experience in their day-to-day. It’s a heavy and powerful album.
In 2009 the album ORIGINAL SIN was released, being a re-recording of the album DR SIN I, with two bonus tracks “Nephelins” and “You Are My Love”.

PAST MANAGEMENT FOR:

TNT (Melodic Hard Rock) Norway Manager for North America & South America
October 2010 - 2013 (3 years 3 months)
With the release of "A Farewell To Arms", their third album with the current lineup, TNT returns to their roots. The music is more hard edged than on the last few albums, and the truth is you'll have to go all the way back to 1984's "Knights Of The New Thunder" to find the band so heavy. TNT have changed a lot since the eighties, and with British singer Tony Mills (ex Shy, Siam) on board since 2006 the band have now returned to the musical style the fans have been requesting.
TNT was formed in Norway back in 1982, and the band released its eponymous debut album the following year. After some changes in the line up the classic "Knights Of The New Thunder" were released in the fall of 1984, by a band now consisting of extremely talented guitar player Ronni Le Tekrø, drummer Diesel Dahl, American singer Tony Harnell, and bass player Morty Black.
In the early nineties the band broke up, but TNT returned with a couple of more alternative hard rock albums later in the decade, before disappearing again. At the turn of the millennium TNT slowly began to rise once more, and came back with full force when "My Religion" was released to rave reviews in 2004.
Diesel Dahl and Ronni Le Tekrö were by now the core of TNT, and in Victor Borge (ex Jack In The Box, Autopulver) they found a permanent bass player. When Tony Mills entered the scene TNT was finally a complete unit again, and released "The New Territory" in 2007.
TNT have been touring extensively in Norway ever since, and at the same time been working on new music. This resulted in "Atlantis" in 2008, before we now see the band return to a heavier sound on "A Farewell To Arms". The album was produced by Tekrö at his Studio Studio, and the songs are mainly written by Tekrö and Mills. It still hasn't been an easy road for the band: just as the new album were finished Mills suffered a heart attack at Oslo's main airport, but quick response from the airports paramedics saved the singer's life.
