About Me

Portuguese child of the 70s, started to play guitar at the age of 17, and discovered the world of bass 2 years after. From then on, dived deep into the music stratosphere and bathed in as much as possible.
Through time, developed the crazy dream of learning to play every musical instrument invented by human beings and surroundings...

Eventually, graduated in Jazz Bass with a Fellini grade by the Amsterdam Music Conservatory in June 2008.

Styles: Pop, Jazz, Alternative, Latin, Funk, World. ...and anything else that hits the soul. ;)

Currently playing with Days After The Storm , Itching Eyeball (the left one) and Grupo Amistad .

Kenny Kirkland's Dienda. Arranged for Solo Bass, with an interlude inspired by Carlos Paredes.
