Aldo is a professional Drum-Jockey & Percussionist and has been traveling all over the world during the last ten years performing in Europe, USA, Japan, Australia and Asia.  Aldo was born in London where he began his career playing  in the club scene in London, Manchester and Birmingham.

Aldo later teamed up with Singer “Kylie Minogue’ in Australia and began performing with her band in clubs and at large dance parties.  Back in 1995, during the five years of performing in Australia, Aldo collaborated with D.J Aaron B' and released a dance album called ‘FUNKY LOOSE”.  Shortly after the release of this album Aldo was invited  to Italy to tour as guest Drum jockey alongside D.J Blade & Jestofunk, who at the time had a number one world hit called (‘say it again’).

From Italy, Aldo then went to Japan for a brief tour where the percussion proved to be a real crowd pleaser.  DJs were impressed with Aldo's knack of keeping crisp timing with the House beats and how he creatively flavoured the music bringing a live element to the vibe.  From this point forward Aldo became a recognised and respected percussionist.  In 2006 Aldo completed two separate contracts with his two sponsors 'Smirnoff" and 'Chivas Regal" covering around fifty cities in Austral/Asia region.  This tour bought Aldo and his Drum Jockey concept into contact with and performing alongside many high profile global D.J's including Paul Van Dyk, Nick Warren, Wally Lopez, DJ Yoshimura (Japan), Lee Caberra, Chris Coco and many others.

In 2006 Aldo performed at numerous Latin events in Hong Kong including both the 2006 & 2007 Hong Kong Salsa Festivals, The 2006 Latin Fiesta, and the 2006 Lan Kwai Fong Festival.  In the same year, Aldo released a hit dance single "Seven Mile" which featured on the "Ministry of Sound" Chill Out album.
