Almost born behind a Fish'n'Chip Shop counter, a future in 'Salt'n'sauce?' never quite inspired this lad.  Infact he rebelled.  Well at least he tried.  He got himself...a degree in Business!  On the surface he still tried to please his Italian family, but underneath it all lay an overwhelming desire - to sing.

Seduced by the world of Soul music that he discovered on a free mixtape he got with a new pair of green denim jeans, RAFF home-schooled himself singing along to the likes of Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder in his bedroom.  But painfully shy, it wasn't until a job as a singing waiter that RAFF found the courage to scratch this itch.

Since then, he hasn't looked back, garnering rave reviews in National press, radio and podcast features across the globe, from Aberdeen to Dubai, London to NYC and even having a radio hit in Brazil. He also features on the PS2 global smash series Grand Theft Auto. RAFF has appeared alongside acts such as Lily Allen, Plan B, Ed Sheeran, Emeli Sandé, Marlena Shaw, Carleen Anderson and Ian Shaw, in venues such as Ronnie Scott's (London), Jazz Cafe (London), 100 Club (London), Shoreditch/Soho/Home House (London), The Ivy (London), The Hippodrome (London), Norwood House (NYC), The Bitter End (NYC).

A creative soul, RAFF has turned his hand to many different aspects of art: from curating and hosting live music showcases, DJing, photography, styling, designing his own promo, and even a turn at the World of Burlesque with rave reviews as his alter-ego Buck Svizz.  But on stage singing is where RAFF is most at home.
