His father was an accomplished saxophone player and his mother was a legendary pianist and singer.. At the age of 14, Polo was asked to go on tour with Blues legend John Lee Hooker. His love for all different types of music led him to expand his abilities to include Rock, Funk and Jazz as well as Blues. A versatile and talented musician Polo was soon working with Larry Graham, "Hot Chocolate," Walter Hawkins and Sly Stone.
After touring through the seventies and early eighties, Polo pursued a short solo career. In 1985, he received a call from Corrado Rustici Producer ( Zucchero ,Andrea Bocelli) to join "Holiday of Hands."a fusion pop band. Shortly thereafter Polo began recording albums in Europe.
