Elyan: From the age of four, Elyan drove his neighbours in Italy insane with his incessant playing. He went on to study with Mariano Manocchi (percussionist of the Italian State Television), for three years. Elyan hit the "big time" in 1985, when he was asked to do a session for world-renowned band, “Via Verdi”. Elyan toured Europe extensively with “Via Verdi”, who, with the hit single “Diamond” sold over three million records worldwide!
