MATTEO MANCUSO
Meet the young guitarist who’s wowing virtuosos with his blend of jazz and rock.
WHEN AN ARTIST releases their debut album, they usually do so with little expectation weighed down upon them. But by the time Sicily-born guitarist Matteo Mancuso had written and recorded his first album, The Journey, he had Steve Vai and Tosin Abasi doting on his talents.
“It puts a lot of pressure on you,”he says with a mix of awe and fear,“but it’s a dream come true. All I want to do with my life is play and make music.”
