When he was 15, he began to attend classes at the Musician Institute of London. After graduation, he became the youngest teacher of the academy in 1994.[citation needed][clarification needed]

In 2004, he starred as an actor and a composer in Alive, directed by Frédéric Berthe, in which a producer works with a gifted young songwriter and they find success together. The film was not a box-office success.[citation needed]

Nucci went to Spain in the Casa Yodelice and start writing new songs, and re-emerged as Yodelice.[2]
