Uncle-in-law of the anchorman Ettore Andenna.
He was a self-taught guitarist. Later on, he learned to play the drums. He left his native village before his twentieth birthday and moved to Rome. After work, he performed in local clubs as a singer and guitarist.
He successfully auditioned for EIAR, the Italian national radio broadcasting company, and worked as a singer for radio orchestras.
In 1941, he replaced Enrico Gentile in the line-up of Quartetto Ritmo, a vocal quartet soon to be renamed Quartetto Cetra.
