Federico Traversa aka F.T. Sandman (Genoa, 1975) has been involved in music and spiritual matters for years.
He has written books and collaborated with many well-known faces of counterculture - Tonino Carotone, Africa Unite, Manu Chao, Ky-Many Marley - without ever neglecting the themes of those who are down there at the end of the line.
His turning point as a man and as a writer took place thanks to the meeting with the well-known Genoese priest Don Andrea Gallo, with whom he signed two books published by major Italian publishers.
Together with the writer Episch Portions, since 2017 he has conducted the Rock Is Dead program on the frequencies of Radio Popolare Network, dedicated to the mysterious deaths of the known and lesser-known faces of music, from which the book of the same name is taken.
