Giovanni's Musical Background

My name is Giovanni Scandurra, and I was born in Catania (Sicily) in 1967.

I studied classical piano at the Conservatory of Vibo Valentia (CZ), but throughout my musical career I have always played Pop music. Arranger Keyboards have always been my passion. I have been using them for my musical entertainment performances since 1990, the year I bought my first arranger: a Roland E-30.

Since then, I've owned many models from different brands Technics, Ketron, Korg, and finally Yamaha. My first Yamaha arranger was the Yamaha PSR-8000 in 1998. I was in Rome, and by chance I walked past a music store. I went in out of curiosity and saw a PSR8000 on display. I started playing it, and I remember it was "love at first sight". It had a fresh, bright, and modern sound I bought it immediately.

Over the years, I've purchased several other arrangers, and I'm now the proud owner of a Yamaha Genos 2. The possibilities offered by these workstations are endless, and the sound quality is truly impressive.

Recently, I've become more and more passionate about creating my own Styles. I find it a very rewarding practice, as it encourages me to study and understand all the features of the keyboard. Sometimes, it even becomes a sort of challenge between you and the machine one that helps stimulate creativity and understand the instrument's limits, so you can achieve the best possible results.

Wishing you all lots of great music!
