Karl is a music teacher, lecturer, touring and recording artist, composer and songwriter.

Born in Italy and relocated to the UK after a period of world travel, Karl has spent years playing, touring and recording with a wide range of bands.
Inspired by the sixties and seventies rock music Karl started playing in his early teens but soon expanded his musical horizons to include a wide variety of styles. In the early days it would not have been unusual to perform in a loud rock band at night, study musicology and music theory at the University of Bologna (DAMS course – Music Arts & Drama) in the morning and hone traditional rock, blues, country and folk guitar techniques in the afternoon. These days, he shares his schedule between solo projects, European and American tours with several rock and jazz bands, festivals and club appearances (including Glastonbury, Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Bestival / Isle of Wight etc. ) and session work for many other bands and musicians. For his own solo Album in 2011, he received rave reviews from, amongst others, BBC Radio 2 and Total Guitar magazine.

Karl is extremely passionate about music and guitars. As a teacher he covers a wide range of subjects including Rock, Hard-Rock, Pop, Folk, Country & Bluegrass, Traditional & Contemporary Blues, Traditional and “Gypsy” Jazz and more.

He also teaches bass guitar, mandolin, ukulele, improvisation, composition & songwriting and music technology.
