A brief bio
I've being in love with Drums since I was a kid... I remember myself at 6 'playing' along with some Heavy Metal vinils, that I honestly don't know how they ended up on my house... well, I know, but it's hard to explain, it's because of my mom, although she never listened to heavy metal :) whatever, I started playing in March '98 on my brother's kit, who also tought me the basics, a blue Tama Rockstar DX. Shortly after, in April, I got my first kit, a gift from my beloved uncle Alexandre, a second hand silver Tama Rockstar DX and started studying and getting involved with some noob bands and nutter lads. First love was Punk Rock, then it turned into Heavy Metal, Power Metal, Trash Metal, Progressive Rock, loud sounding drums, bla, bla, bla... Nowadays, I can't say exactly what I like and what I play (or what I try to!). I just try to listen to everything that brings me pleasure, that takes me out of reality for a while, no matter what it is, or which style. Recently I found myself passionate for Brazilian Music, Bossa Nova and Jazz, but I can't say I'm a samba or a jazz drummer, first because I am not (yet!!! :) ), and second, this way I would be neglecting my own past, my life as a musician. I believe my background will always be important and influent, and I would proudly add the words Punk Rock and Heavy Metal when trying to define what sort of stuff I do. In a nutshell, I am still developing my character, adding several sauces to mix up with my pasta from the day before, expecting a fantastic recipée. In August 2007, after finishing a tour in France with Brazilian folk group CTG Aldeia dos Anjos, I made my move to the UK, pursuing my dream.
I currently play drums for the tribute band The Complete Stone Roses - www.stoneroses.net, attend music college and constantly self-teach and write music.
