My name is Federico Salerno and I am a musician. My instrument is electric guitar (I've succeeded the Master Of Rock Guitar by Donato Begotti at the Milano Rock Guitar Academy), but I've always loved also piano and keyboards, bass guitar, drums and singing.

I'm also songwriter and arranger for my band Deva, which is actually under contract with RNC Music. The first album ("Between Life And Dreams") has now seen the light in many countries, including Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Russia, Japan, South Korea, Finland...

As composer and producer I've made original pieces and arrangements for artists, advertisements, multimedial events, theatre, educational books and websites: above the others, Milano Ad, Io Bimbo, Cantine Florio, SteelNight Studios, RNC Music, VK Lynne.

My teaching activity began almost ten years ago and it leaded me to the role of electric guitar teacher in some important structures, including the academy Dimensione Musica (Lainate, Mi) and the music school Mondomusica (Milano).

For the publishing house Volontè & Co. I'm director of the serie and author of the books Suona In Una Band ("Play In A Band"), available in italian music stores as of september 2011.

My endorsements involve some international brands (Cort for guitars and Blackstar for amplifiers and effects) and the italian Triton Custom Cabinets.
