Maria Jose Leal

I was born in 1982 in Madeira island. My first relation with music I was about 7 years old and I studied for five years piano in 'conservatorio de musica do funchal'. Durind my childwood I used to participate on children's song contests. But the main decision of my life was made on the 6th February 2006 so I've decided to educate my voice joining the Jbjazz school, where I 've been studying with so many well known names of portuguese jazz such as Pedro Madaleno, Gonçalo Marques, Vasco Mendonça,Alexandre bento, Paula Sousa and Raquel Marques(my headmaster)among others. Last 4th April I was invited by Pedro Madaleno to join the combo that represented the school in a kind of jazz contest called Sao luiz Jazz Fest' and there we won an acknowledgement award. I don't have more information for my curriculum...I wish I would!Take care. Oh!I've almost forgoten I've been studying Law at catholic univ. yachh :P
