Who I Am
My name is Massimo, and what makes me happiest is seeing people dream.
My love for music started when I was a boy, always trying to uncover something more in every track than just the musical frequencies.
I love observing the world from a very particular perspective: mine, the most precious and authentic one I’ve ever discovered in my life.
Creating musical narratives inspired by my view of reality, emotions, and everything the world conveys to me is the inexhaustible force that has kept me alive for years.
In my passion for DJing, I found a way to build a bridge between the emotional states I perceived—a connection between myself and the world. By playing with tracks, moving from one to another freely (just like a child inventing their own game), I am able to establish a genuine emotional dialogue with people.
I began to realize that I could create authentic musical narratives that resonate in the hearts of my listeners—and, most importantly, that I could use music to narrate the most important moments in people’s lives, making them magical and etched in memory… just like a vinyl record.
This is my work, and it’s what I love most.
My Story
I remember when it all began… the first parties with friends, my first DJ console, a makeshift sound system, and the pure joy of a group of young people wanting to have fun.
But those nights ignited a flame within me that I would nurture forever… the joy of coloring an event with musical strokes and vitality burned brighter than ever!
I lost count of the times I went above and beyond—sometimes literally doubling my efforts—to bring my music to an event… of course, for free!
Over time, I approached the world of clubs. This marked the beginning of performing for a broader audience, people I didn’t know personally. Working with such a variety of individuals, night after night, allowed me to refine my skill in reading the crowd and their emotions, to “play” not just with the tracks, but with the energy of the people themselves.
My overwhelming passion and perseverance led me to dive into some of the busiest venues in Versilia and the province of Lucca, including pubs and nightclubs like The Cube, Seven Apples, and Kukù Disco.
Although the energy and excitement of the clubs gave me a lot of freedom and vitality, a part of me missed the intimacy of those first parties with friends. That desire drew me toward private events, especially weddings… unique moments where intimacy plays an irreplaceable role in connecting with the emotions of the protagonists.
I had found another path to follow. Looking back at every event I’ve played—from clubs full of lights to spaces where happiness is reflected in people’s eyes—there’s always a common thread: the joy of witnessing the emotion of music touch people’s souls.
I complement my role as a DJ with my work as a Music Producer.
My expression through musical notes has found fertile ground in creating tracks that tell the story of myself, my life, and my emotions.
Crafting melodies, selecting sounds, and composing harmonies has become an even greater outlet for what I want to share with the world.
I am still fully engaged in producing tracks, offering my musical frequencies for everyone to experience.
Just as dialogue and building connections with others is a precious ally in life, so is music.
A vibration, a musical frequency, is a Truth—an authentic dialogue with oneself, a story to share.
My work is about making people’s lives memorable, narrating every event through the language of music.
This is my art. I am REFRI.
