Yari, born into a family of actors and musicians in Rome in April 1973, grew up in southern Italy going to school on an American Air Force base, then Switzerland. Went on to live in London, Boston, New York City-East Village, India. Travels constantly, especially in the East: Tibet, Nepal, Laos, India, etc. Started touring when two months old with his family and started his first band at the age of 15. Enjoys to naturally experiment with different styles of music, discovering it anthropologically as a world sound, uniting it all under one roof which is his identifiable sound, a great voice. Releases his first EP in 2002 entitled "Eye Sea U" which he writes, produces single-handedly and plays most instruments on the record. Particularly fond of Pharaohs.
