About Me

All started when at the age of 12, Flávio is presented with his first electric guitar and gets himself enroled at a conservatory where he plays his first chords. Not being sastisfied with the teaching process of the school in which didn’t have rock ’n’ roll as part of their curriculum he then decides to carry on with his studies on his own by his own means.
A couple of months later he joins his first college band. In the following year he is offered a job by his old music teacher to give guitar lessons but he turns down the offer and decides to give one to one guitar lessons to his neighbours. The experience acquired from his teaching he becomes more open minded to other kinds of music and today he holds a musical identity that is both strong and diverse.
After some try-outs in a number of garage bands he finally joins TOMA HAWK in 1989, an amateur band of young talented musicians and some real good material. The band gives him his very first opportunity to improve his knowledge of demo tape making and recording. At the end of 1989, the band wins first prize in a music festival in ’The Escola Técnica Festival.’
In 1993, Flavio forms JUST together with two other mates, Marcelo Spagnolo and Edu Tedeschi. They play lots of gigs at night clubs around Brazil. In 1995 the band wins a garage band music contest (FEBG – 1995’s Garage Band State Contest) and records a Demo Tape called "Demo on Line" featuring 3 songs written by Flavio.

JUST splits in 1996 and this allows Flávio to look ahead and adventure a solo career. He records 4 instrumental tribal tracks on a basic 4 channel portable studio with the participation of an Uruguayan percussionist, Jorge Pena.
In 1999 Flávio has his first digital recording experience. Performing voice and electric guitar in "Outros Vôos", his very first solo CD brings particularities of his new attitude towards music. In 2002, he is invited to perform three songs with Tato Martins, lead singer in a pop project produced by Fábio de Carvalho, a music producer in the Brazilian network broadcasting.
After this recording venture, he performs with a lot of other groups on a wide range of styles, from Soul to Hard Rock, such as: Uncle Lulli, Triple Fox, D’Lua, Iron Maiden cover, Guns ’n" Roses cover, Mesacalleros, Ilha 13, and many others. At the same time he is working on some other material and found on the Internet a good way to promote it. In 2004, he creates a website to share music and content that was a mirror to his musical feelings at that particular time.
During 2007 he defines the artistic concept of his new website and now he is looking for the best business model for music production and promotion using the Internet platform. Flavio maintains his own style by showing through his art the times and facts he has experienced.
