Starting 15 years ago playing guitar in Punk Rock bands in Leiria, later I went to a Jazz school, in Lisbon to learn how to play drums.I formed New Naked Soundz with 2 other friends and played a lot with other bands and jazz gigs.For 2 years I´ve been doing some experimental works with Strip, a laptop duo, in some bars in Lisbon and with O Misterio do Som a trio where i play Fx Percussion with the help of my laptop.All this gave me the impulse for doing my own project: Arti.João Barra
