Astronauta Pinguim

In October of 1975 I felt on earth. In State of Rio Grande do Sul, south of Brasil, to be more specific... I was a “normal” child just like any other… well, I think so… But I found out music very very soon, when I was 10 years old. Artists like the The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and David Bowie could be heard in my turntable when I was just 12. By this time, I started to play my first lines on the bass guitar, but I changed to the keyboards when I discovered the MOOG synth sounds in “A Clockwork Orange” (Stanley Kubrick's movie) soundtrack, and other vintage keyboard sound hearing artists as Keith Emerson, Brian Eno, Jean-Jacques Perrey and, mainly, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, my second true love (the first love affair was with the MOOG synth, of course).

My first professional band was “Acretinice me Atray” in 1997, and with these band I appeared for the first time on a record. Also in those “Acretinice” days I began to work with my band mate Jimi Joe, which first solo album “Saudade do Futuro” (Pineapple Music, 2005) was the first album I worked as producer, almost ten years later.

Well, after that I played with almost every band and artist in Rio Grande do Sul and recorded my frist solo album, the all-instrumental “Petiscos: Sabor Churrasco”, in which I played my whole arsenal of vintage keyboards (Moogs, Farfisa Organs, Wurlitzer electric pianos, vocoder, ARP synths and many many others…) and, from then on music press began to pay attention on me.

But it wasn't enough for me. So I moved to Sao Paulo, in 2005. And since then, I live here. I work as record producer and studio musician and keep rockin' on my solo shows and solo records. Have my own label, Pineapple Music, and in the next month of may I will release my second solo album, “Supersexxxysounds”. And you can hear and download the whole "Supersexxxysounds" here on myspace!!! Check it out!

Well, hope you like that!!!...
