Claudio

Well, I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil in an awesome small family having my grandparents coming from Italy/Portugal/Canaryan Islands/England...crazy mix!! I'm very stubborn, direct and honest so I'll probably say what I think and I won't hide or lie. I'm very friendly but usually takes me a while to trust new people immediately, I guess the music industry tought me that..but having me as a friend means it's for a life time, any time you need!I always had 2 sides of me, one focused in music and the other in competitive sports.The Music one, my biggest passion, started when I was 9 and was responsible for me playing in a professional band for 8 years as a singer and a bass player in Brazil doing more then 2000 shows and plenty of studio sessions. I needed a new direction and moved to NYC to expand my music universe (I guess my 7 years studying english paid off). The moving made me realize that the recording industry was going through lots of changes so I decided to go deep in to the production/recording world being able to be self-productive! I started an original band named "Citizen Fury" along with other friends but I tell you, It's very hard to keep one in NYC as you spend more time in your day job then rehearsing. After living there for quite a while, I moved to LA accept another challenge in my life playing and touring in an awesome rock band called "SPECTRASONIC" from LA. I'm now back to play in a cool band with my hometown old friends called "ROTOR" signed by EMI!My other side includes a very competitive sport's spirit! I Played indoor volleyball professionally in Brazil for 10 years and still play with my friend's volleyball team in NYC as much as I can! I'm black belt of karate and hakkoryu and my brother in Tae Kwon Do and Judo/Jiu jitsu (together..we're invencible..lol) I love swimming, hikking, diving, sky diving, workouts and hopefully getting to do some snowboarding this winter!I love travelling, animals, nature, mountains, beach, wine, movies, languages, italian/japanese/brazillian food, etc...I have lots of great friends in Brazil and in NYC...I would say I have friends in close to 80% of the globe so I plan on going on a trip every year so I can visit them and learn more about their culture. That's it for now, I have tons of stories in my head but I'll leave it for another time! You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
