Mimmo Di Cicco

Independent

I was born in Naples in 1981. Coming from a difficult background, I wanted to play drums with all my heart, and even though I couldn't afford either the instrument or lessons, I decided I would play anyway and started studying on my own, not even with a drum kit.
For years, I played without having an instrument of my own or a place to practice, yet even though it was incredibly difficult to pursue my passion, I continued to believe in it.
I've participated in many tours, clinics, and events, but his greatest motivation came in his hometown, where I met drummers considered "ordinary," who, in his opinion, taught him the greatest life lesson.

"Only in my city have I seen musicians burning with passion for music, facing a thousand difficulties and letting themselves go on stage."

In 2013, he moved to northern Italy, where he continued his career. In 2021, after teaching at other schools, he decided to open his own music school. He is a composer, songwriter, and arranger. He has a YouTube channel where he creates video reviews.

His philosophy is to experiment with new styles, be open to constructive criticism, and constantly push himself outside his comfort zone.
