Hello, I'm Fernando Tovo. I'm from Italy.
I started playing music at the end of the 80's.

I attended the CDPM (Centro Didattico di produzione musica) in Bergamo as a guitar player and student of Dario Faiella, then I went on studying harmony and Jazz guitar in Milan with Maestro Sandro di Pisa.

I have lived exclusively on music since 2010. For this reason I went on studying guitar and, in 2013, I got a three-year Master in Modern Guitar at Accademia del Suono in Milan guided by Luca Meneghello.

I play live music regularly with different bands and different styles, from blues to folk and from funk to Rock'n'roll and rockabilly.

I have collaborated with Paul Bradley Couling (Mal) and Ronnie Jones, among others.

Here are some of the many live experiences I've had, with different bands: Teatro Olimpico in Sabbioneta (MN), Teatro Donizetti in Bergamo, Teatro Ponchielli in Cremona e Teatro Sociale in Bergamo.

Between 2015 and 2019 I worked in hotels in the Alps and on the Mediterranean coast, for a few months.

In 2016 I took part in the musical Footloose (for Stage Entertainment) at the Teatro Nazionale in Milan, as a lead guitar player. I repeated the experience with Pretty Woman at the beginning of 2022 and in 2023.

In 2019, on request of the director and screenwriter Gianni Buscaglia I composed the original music for the radio programme “Sogno (ma forse no) del passeggero e della sua guida”, 15 episodes broadcasted on the second channel of the Swiss National Radio.
These songs were on Spotify in February 2021.

I've been an orchestra musician on board Celebrity Cruises Ships in the last two years.

I speak English (CEFR level between B1 and B2), Spanish (at a slightly lower level).

Hope to hear from you soon...

Fernando
