About Me

NacÃ en Porto Alegre, Brasil en 1975. En 1983, empezÃ© a tocar la guitarra, por influencia de mi hermano y mi padre, pero como habÃan demasiadas cuerdas y un sonido "sin mucho cuerpo", cambiÃ© al bajo elÃ©ctrico!!! :-) En1986 ya habÃa formado mi primero grupo, nos llamamos CurtoCircuito y fuimos elegidos para tocar en el Festival Rock Unificado junto con grupos famosos de la escena local como: DeFalla, Engenheiros do Hawaii, TNT, Cascavelletes, Garotos da Rua...Tocar para 13mil personas con solo 11aÃ±os, fue algo increÃble y naturalmente fui interesÃ¡ndome mÃ¡s por la cosa... Me profisionalizÃ© en los aÃ±os 90. En 97 pasÃ© 2 meses en los Estados Unidos tocando y participando de jams y grabaciones en los estudios del M.I.(Musicians Institute) en Los Angeles. En 2000 me trasladÃ© a Rio de janeiro, en 2003 a Paris y 2004 a Barcelona, donde estoy viviendo ahora. En esos 25 aÃ±os de mÃºsica trabajÃ© con diferentes grupos, mÃºsicos y productores como:------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ I was born in Porto Alegre, Brazil, in 1975. In 1983, influenced by my brother and my dad, I started playing the guitar. But as there were too many strings and I wanted something deeper and fat, I've changed to the electric bass!! :-) In 1986, I had already formed my first band, a group called Curto Circuito and we were selected to play in a festival called "Rock Unificado", together with famous local bands such as DeFalla, Engenheiros do Havaii, TNT, Cascavelletes, Garotos da Rua.... Playing for 13 thousand people at the age of 11, simply blew my mind. Obviously, I got more and more into it and started developing as a musician becoming a professional in the early 90's. In 1997, I've spent two month in the US recording and jamming in the studios of MI (Musicians Institute) in LA. In 2000 I moved to Rio de Janeiro, in 2003 to Paris and in 2004 to Barcelona where I'm still based. In these 25 years of music, I have played with different musicians, producers and bands as a bassist and producer.--------------------------------------------------- ----------------------in Brasil: LOBAO - ARNALDO BAPTISTA (Mutantes) - DADO VILLALOBOS(Legiao Urbana) - GuSTAVO DREHER - CELSO FONSECA - ARMANDINHO - ALEX FONSECA - EDU K - CARLOS TRiLHA - VICTOR CHICRI - GAROToS DA RUA - MASSA CRITICA (ADAL FONSECA - LUCIANO GRANJA - LUCIO DORFMANN - VICO) - RICK DELATORRE - CRISTIANO CROCHEMORE - ALEXANDRA SCOTTi - FUNKALISTER- EXPERIENCIAS ALUCINANT - GROOVE JAMES - MARCELO FRUET - ---------------------------------------------------------in Europe: MADE J. - REGINALDO BAPTISTA -AVENIDA BRASiL - CRISTOVAL MONTES DE OCA - MARCOS "XuXa" LEVY - ED MOREIRA - ERICO MARCO - ANGELO MAESTRI - MUNIR HOSSN - TITA LIMA - LÃ‰O MiNAX - HUMA - BORJA BARRUETA - LEO VANELLI - GABRIEL NUZZOLI - ADRIANO DD - NICOLAS CoRREA - HAMiLTON FARIA - JEFF OTTO - JUAN TOK-----------------------------And many others...
