Heavily influenced by Joe Satriani, Plini began his career releasing music under the alias Halcyon before switching to his first name.
Gaining recognition for his trilogy of EPs, Other Things (2013), Sweet Nothings (2013) and The End of Everything (2015), Plini’s debut album, Handmade Cities (2016), was highly praised, leading to the follow-up Impulse Voices (2020).
The prog rocker, known for his electrifying stage shows, has toured the globe and performed alongside the likes of Animals As Leaders, Periphery, Tesseract, Intervals and many more.
