From Italy to England

Giacomo’s Journey
Giacomo is a professional singer, songwriter and musician as well as vocal coach and singing teacher working all across Suffolk (UK). His passion for music began in his teen years in Italy where he started taking singing classes and booking gigs in local clubs and nightlife venues.
After the achievement of his first diploma, he decided to move to London to pursue his creative dreams and nurture his passion for music and teaching. At the completion of a BTEC Diploma in Popular Music Performance at BIMM London, he decided to further his academic studies and take his musical and performance skills to a whole new level through the achievement of a BA Creative Musicianship (Vocals) at University of West London.
While being a full-time student, Giacomo had many opportunities to take his music to various venues in and around London, secure some songwriting commissions and work with local choirs, as well as starting his own independent teaching practice. Right after the completion of his undergraduate studies Giacomo decided to focus on more pedagogical matters.
Keen to learn more about the art of teaching he applied for a PGCert in Learning and Teaching at University of Sussex which he successfully completed in 2019, providing a new set of teaching skills, research opportunities and general pedagogical development. This course also allowed him to teach in Further Education and Higher Education settings in which he is extremely successful fulfilling all academic duties.
