From an early age, he was captivated by the energy and emotion music brings. “I love music and I also love to dance,” Capochino says, “so I’m always doing either one of them—either listening or dancing, which influenced me to write and perform my own songs.”

His creative journey began in the early days of high school. Still, it wasn’t until 2014 that Capochino decided to pursue music full-time.
