He studied classical guitar for seven years and today, he is a great producer and composer. He has written arrangements for Orchestra, New Pop and Rock Bands and Soundtracks for publicities.Yonsen has been praised by the Brazilian Press and Great artists: the Brazilian Magazines Guitar Player said: “Yonsen’s songs are perfect and mature compositions/arrangements within Prog atmosphere and heavy sonority” and Cover Guitarra said: “these songs are a good example how to absorb influences from the idols without copying their work.
