PROMO KIT

B orn in Turin - Italy, the 26th of August 1990. Diego started his
guitar study at the age of eight, learning quickly the technical aspects
of the instrument and showing a natural gift with his touch, expres-
sion and execution. At age of 11, he studied the modern electric gui-
tar in a little school of music in Turin, Italy. At age of 13 Diego met
the great guitarist Massimo Arminchiardi, who introduced Diego to
a professional level of music study encompassing advanced aspects of
modern guitar music. Within the next two years Diego used a confi-
guration of hardware and software for recording his music for release
to the public via MySpace, etc. At age of 15, Diego began studying
with Tony De Gruttola, who is a master level teacher of both “Cen-
tro Professione Musica” and “Accademia Lizard – Piedmont Section”.
Diego learned improvisation and rhythmic techniques, across blues,
rock, metal and funk genres. Diego is now attending the “Univer-
sità di Torino – D.A.M.S.“ and the Accademia Lizard where he is
preparing the 4th level with a deep focus on music composition.

2 010 Diego won the “1° concorso nazionale per chitarra elettri-
ca ed acustica” in Parma; his “Thinking of Chopin” will be inclu-
ded (late 2010) in a double CD produced by TopRecords and
distributed by Edel. Diego was invited again to represent “Ac-
cademia Lizard” school of music in many towns and cities of
Northern Italy, Torino, Avigliana, Alessandria, Novara, to pro-
mote the school together with the Accademia Lizard teachers.

PRESS REVIEWS
“ I play if you have the money
Or if you’re a friend to me
But the one man band
By the quick lunch stand
He was playing real good for free”

“These lyrics by Joni Mitchell were

written long before 19-year-old
Italia guitarist Diego Budicin was
born, but they could have been writ-
ten about him.” ...
“Guitar prodigy”...
