ARTIST BIO
Andrea Braido was born in Trento in 1964 on June the 26th. His family, then, moved a few miles away to Pergine Valsugana where he lived for twenty years.
When he is just 4 years old he happily starts playing the drums, also thanks to an approving familiar environment that drives him positively until he plays semi-professionally in bands at the age of 10 for half a decade.
