He begins studying guitar as self-taught, then knows Maestro Maurizio Colonna and becomes his pupil.
In 1999 founds a band called “Extend”, in which he is guitarist and author until 2004, and a little music service (sound/lights), with the same name, in which he partakes as technician and promoter. In 2003 begins his studies in Harmony and Theory with Stefano Solani, and in the academic year 2004/2005 he teaches guitar in the Civic School of Music in Solaro
In the October of 2005 moves to Rome under advice of Maestro Ennio Morricone, to whom he gave a cd with his early compositions. Morricone suggests him to keep on studying Composition and addresses him to Maestro Francesco Telli in Rome.
De Rosa studies with him for a year. Then in 2006 knows Maestro Boris Porena, one of the main composers and thinkers of the XX century in Italy, with whom is still continuing his studies. Moreover, at the beginning of 2006 he starts a collaboration with Jon Anderson, historical voice of the band Yes. Together they assemble a symphonic – theatral poem, “The Alchemist” (based on the novel by Coelho) and write some songs, one of which (called “Music is...”) is edited with Warner and becomes the soundtrack of Anderson’s 2009 Summer Tour across Europe and North America.
