Fun Stuff about the Artist
My Instrument
From the age of 9, I devoted myself to the study of several instruments, starting with the guitar, then piano, bass, percussion and cavaquinho, never expressing any preference for any of the instruments, although I became widely known as a percussionist. I explain that multi-instrumentality as an opportunity to have a wider vision about music, and from there was born my appetite for composition, arrangements and production.
