Talented Argentinean bassist Freddy Valeriani got involved in music while playing his first instrument, an acoustic guitar, at the age of 12. As a teenager, the musician used to listen to progressive and hard rock. It was a Jaco Pastorius' record that turned Freddy Valeriani into the jazz fusion style. The bassist started playing professionally in 1988, joining bands such as Volpini, El Ghetto, and La Bolsa, recording along with Manuel Wirtz on two records, later playing for Sandra Mihanovic and Javier Calamaro. In 1997, Freddy Valeriani recorded a self-titled album, released by Hotwire, participating in a compilation called Bass Talk Vl with "What's the Point" two years later. ~ Drago Bonacich, All Music Guide
