Francesco DeGabriele was born and bred in music since his father was heavily involved amongst others with a television show in the early 90’s titled ‘Mal-Beat Ta’ 60. Francesco started learning the guitar at 13 tutored by Robert Tomasuolo (Lord Adder) and Jean Pierre Zammit (ex Tribali).

At 16 he started playing with a band, which evolved into M.A.D. after a few months trying to find a name. The band stayed together for four years, and after disbanding Francesco joined Dementia for a short period. Then the twenty-year-old joined The X, a residence band in the Bugibba bars circuit.

Next for Francesco was Knockturn Alley, while still learning, jamming, and playing with in rock and blues outfits, sometimes even pop.

In 2008 he joined War Trigger, a thrash metal band that had culminated a huge following. He left in 2014 for personal reasons and two years later (2016) formed Sonic Storm, a band still going strong
