About Me

RAFAEL MOREIRA began singing at age two and playing guitar at age six with a dream of playing in front of tens of thousands of people. He has been living that dream since. RAFAEL has also been composing and writing songs since he was eight years old. RAFAEL was first recognized for his songwriting talent at age eleven, when he and his older brothers won a high school band/songwriter contest. Since then, RAFAEL has been involved in many projects across the musical spectrum. He has appeared on CDs, TV SHOWs, DVDs and world tours with huge HEAVY/ROCK/POP STARS like PAUL STANLEY (KISS), PINK, TOMMY LEE, CHRISTINA AGUILERA, MARC ANTHONY, DAVE NAVARRO, STEVEN TYLER, HENRIQUE IGLESIAS, MYA, SISQO, PAULINA RUBIO, VASCO ROSSI to name a few, played and recorded with jazz legends like AIRTO MOREIRA, FLORA PURIM, JIMMY HASLIP, ERIC MARIENTHAL, RAFAEL was also featured as the lead guitarist/vocalist on the hit CBS TV SHOW ROCKSTAR INXS and SUPERNOVA and most recently on MTV's ROCK THE CRADLE. In 2005, he finally released his first solo record entitled "Acid Guitar." This debut album has received great reviews from listeners around the world. “I really like this album, it represents an important period in my life and I love performing this material live, where musical freedom speaks higher than the safe musical environment people tend to live in today,” says RAFAEL! You can buy the CD and check out for yourself at www.cdbaby.com/cd/rafaelmoreira. RAFAEL is currently finishing up his rock band's first record. The rock power trio known as MAGNETICO have played many shows around LA, was featured at the 2006 MUSIC WEEKLY MAGAZINE AWARDS and did a Tour in Europe in 2006 where they also headlined the EMERGENZA FESTIVAL in BERLIN. They are also working on their first music video for the song "EMPEROR" ! They're getting ready to release their music to you!
