On this episode of Two Beers With The Band, I had a conversation with a true force in the independent music scene, Italian guitarist Emmanuelle Ferraro. Emmanuelle and I dive into what it takes to be a dedicated artist in today's world, and he shares his unique story of building a music career from his home in northern Italy. We talk about his one-man-band approach to writing, recording, and producing, and the dedication it takes to wear every hat.

Emmanuelle opens up about his passion for instrumental music and his love for the technical side of his craft, from learning music theory and ear training on his own to attending a year of conservatory in Milan. We discuss the challenges of being an independent metal artist in Italy, how he's grown a worldwide fanbase through YouTube, and why he always practices to improve his skills. For Emmanuelle, the guitar is a constant companion—a way to escape negative thoughts and a necessity for personal growth as an artist. This conversation is a raw, honest look at the grind and the joy of creating music entirely on your own terms.
