DF Michael was born and grew up in the suburbs of Rome, Italy, where he studied classical piano, jazz composition.His parents were blue collars worker that lived through World War II and taught Df that in life you have to fight for what you want. Later, because of a surgery to his right hand, moved to the tenor sax and performed for many years as a session musician with many jazz and pop bands.

Relocated to the USA and started playing the electric guitar after his brother, who is a renowned guitar maker, gives DF Michael a custom-made guitar as a gift. The move to the US was not easy, and DF learned, among the other things, graphic design and web development and became an independent consultant as a stable way to support his music. For some time DF almost gave up on the idea of pursuing a music career, but his wife Paola really motivated him to never give up and so finally DF gets back to music with a lot of energy since 2004 and finally releases his first album Dances And Walks.

For DF is like starting all over again. Meanwhile some old friends who are professional musicians come forward and DF has the honor of having some of them in the recording. DF releases Dances And Walks in June 2009, and this time he does not take any chance: he is already producing a second album scheduled to be delivered by the end of November 2009. Meanwhile he collaborates on a couple of songs with Detroit area composer/keyboardist Motown Moe, and you can hear DF Michael featured on Motown Moe latest release EP "Romance And a Full Moon".

DF Michael's latest album, Dances And Walks, is a collection of compositions in different styles. Dances And Walks showcases DF Michael's melodic phrasings on all newly recorded dance, smooth-jazz, blues, and pop-like tunes. The tracks melody is played sometimes by the El. Guitar, sometimes by the Tenor Saxophone, sometimes by the Acoustic Piano.

Joining DF Michael on Dances And Walks are drummer and long time friend Mimmo Antonini, bass player Claudio Zanghieri, great jazz pianist Dave Izard, great percussion player Richie Gajate-Garcia. The album has been released in June 2009 by the label Shallow Waters Group Records.
