Voted twice as one of Brazils 10 best drummers in the National Competition Batuka Drum Festival (2000-2001), sponsored by Vera Figueiredo/Vic Firth, Rike is one of the most talented drummers emerging from the south coast of Brazil in recent years.
Rike began playing when he was 10 years old, with full support of his father, Odair (himself a professional drummer).
Rike quickly risen to the top, playing in major music festivals such as the Skol Rock Festival in 95, 96 and 97 for a combined audience of more than twenty thousand spectators. He performed with popular Rock/Fusion acts such as Punch, Odd Search, Vox 3 and internationally renowned guitarrist Lucio Rebello (Virtual Jungle).
Rike studied in Brazil with Duda Neves (Frank Gambale, Elis Regina, Tim Maia, Jorge Ben) and abroad with Mike Mangini (Steve Vai, Extreme). After receiving 2 scholarships from Berklee College of Music (2000-B.E.S.T. SCHOLARSHIP, 2001 WORLD TOUR SCHOLARSHIP), Rike traveled to the USA, but declined studying at the College, preferring instead to continue his private studies with Mike Mangini and to perform with New Orleanss jam band Honey Pot.
After a semester of studies abroad, Rike returned to Brazil, where he continues to perform with popular acts, and receive praises for his drumming by world famous performers, such as Virgil Donati (Planet X, Steve Vai) and Robertinho Silva (Wayne Shorter, Milton Nascimento).
2004 saw the completion of his first instrumental CD, with the group Curumim intrumental. Its music is a fusion of jazz, funk and several Brazilian rhythms. The group took part of Festival Blu Instrumental, an important event featuring performances by legends such as Hermeto Pascoal, Nana Vasconcelos and Yamandu Costa.
Rike was the winner of the 2005 Festival Iniversitario da Cancao - FUCCA - Blumenau, SC. He performed throughout the south of Brazil with pop-rock group ELEKTRA. 2005 also marked his graduation as an Architect!
Rike currently lives in Rio de Janeiro, looking to broad his musical horizon. He recorded in 2006 a Cd with Poprock Group MILKE, featuring several of his old Berklee buddies.
