Giancarlo Zaffoni was born in Lanzo Torinese (Turin), the 25th of February, 1978. He lives in Balangero, nearby Lanzo, about 27 km northward from Turin. He started playing guitar at the age of 13, at the children's club in my hometown, Balangero. When I was 16, his parents brought to him his first electric guitar as a Christmas gift. It was a Fender Stratocaster Made in Mexico, and since then he began his music course.

In 1995, at the age of 17, he joined his first band with some friends. Since that time until now, he has played in several bands exploring musical languages like rock, r'n'b, blues, soul, pop, hard rock and heavy metal.

Now he plays in a band called Voodoo Children, and he is working on some stuff that, he hopes, it will bring to his first record release.

Since october 2007, together with some friends, he supports the hang duo "Manosonora", playing with them in many shows in the North of Italy with many other great musicians.

Since June 2008 he is an student of the Lizard Music Academy, under the guide of the guitarist and session man Tony De Gruttola.
