I was born and raised in Naples, Italy, a city known for its rich history, art, and culture. I started drumming at the age of 13 playing with local bands, then later joined “Napoli Centrale” music school where I started studying with the biggest Italian drummers like Agostino Marangolo and Roberto Gatto. In 1996 I decided to make a bigger step by moving into the USA and settle in New York City to advance my music studies. I joined the prestigious “Drummer Collective” where I studies with the most amazing drummers like Kim Plainfield, Jeff Tain Watts, Horacio el negro Hernandez, Portinho and many more. After realizing the amazing uniqueness of the Cuban and Brazilian beats, I decided to move to Cuba in 1999 to learn new drumming techniques and refine his skills. In Habana, I studied with legends like Changuito and Tata Guine. In the 2000 I moved to Brazil and starts playing with several Samba Schools like Salgueiro, Beija Flor and Mangueira. In 2001 back in NYC where, by meeting with Erben Perez (Marc Anthony’s bass player), I joined “Talking Buddha”, a rock band that will take me touring in Peru, Spain and Equador. The musical bond between me and Erben took me to work with Jennifer Lopez in 2005 in the recording of “Rebirth” and “Como Ama Una Mujer”. In 2007 I moved deeper into Rock and Metal by working and touring with “Shadows Lie” for four years, performing at iconic venues including: Webster Hall, Roseland Ballroom and CBGB to name a few. Britti’s drumming expertise ranges form Brazilian to Cuban, Jazz, Hard rock and Metal.
