He is a self-taught musician.[1]He started playing drums at 8 years old but abandoned it at age 10 to play the guitar.[1][2] With the guitar, he began by imitating rock musicians like Ritchie Blackmore, and was in love with the album 'Made in Japan' by Deep Purple. He then discovered Jazz Rock music and eventually fell in love with Jazz and bebop. He idolized Charlie Parker and Wes Montgomery and was inspired to learn Jazz standards. [3]
Before starting his jazz career, he was first a guitarist in Big Fat Mama Blues Band at 16 years old. [2]
In 1993, He joined the Eddie Lang Jazz Festival Competition and won first prize, with the title of Best Young Italian Jazz Guitarist.[4]
In 1995, He was invited by Billy Cobham to play with his band and also joined Paolo Conte’s band. He accompanied them through their projects.[2][5]

He was also part of a jazz trio called "Standard Trio" and a jazz-rock band called "Trio Bobo”.[2]
Alessio Menconi is not only a musician but also a teacher. He taught Jazz Guitar in the Ghedini in Cuneo, the Paganini in Genoa, and at the Accademia del Suono in Milan[5].
