I was born in 1984, in the capital of Albania, Tirana. The passion for music, and the world of art was injected to me since I was a little child, due to the family tradition. At the age of 3, I took my first violin lessons, then I continued with piano lessons and guitar ones.
But my greatest pleasure, was to visit the laboratory of my father, Rami, a restorer and tuner, who manages to work with all kinds of musical instruments. From all those instruments, violin always attracted my attention. I was too curious to know how it was built, and I was amazed by the way my father restored them.
When I was nearly 10 years old I started my first works, I tried to model the ff of the violin. Then by finishing Qemal Stafa high school, my dream of learning to build string instruments came true.
In 2003, I move out to Cremona, to follow violinmaking studies, in the school "ANTONIO STRADIVARI" I.P.I.A.L.L. I have been taught by M°Vanna ZAMBELLI and later with M°Daniele SCOLARI, while for instruments restoration with M° Claudio AMIGHETTI.
During school years, I have been also taught with proffesors like M° DACQUATI, M°BARCELLARI,M°MATVIYCHUK and M°TADIOLI. I graduated in 2007, then I got specialized to the laboratory of master EDGAR E. RUSS.
My work experience in this laboratory has helped me a lot to improve and perfection the art of violinmaking, also paying a lot of attention to the acoustic qualities. The lessons of master EDGAR E. RUSS, would leave footprints in my construction of my personal instruments.
In 2009, I decide to come back to Albania, and from 2010, I own my personal workshop in Tirana, where I built violins, violas, and cellos.
