At the age of 16 I've started to playing professionally and accompanying different bands and musicians, participating in different types of events and projects. In 2015, with a backpack on my back and my guitar, I traveled around Brazil and the world. Sometimes with friends, sometimes alone. In each city, I shared my art and my hat. And so I financed my trips, knowing incredible places and people.
It was then that I began to dedicate myself to singing and playing my own compositions, bringing a repertoire that goes through various musical styles.
In 2016 I crossed the Atlantic to Iberian lands, getting to know new cultures and bringing Brazilian culture to other peoples. After two months of traveling alone through Portugal and Spain, I flew to the Canary Islands to meet a friend and stayed there to this day, where I've met great musicians and artists, forming groups and playing on the street, bars , associations and festivals.
Since I moved to Tenerife, I have invested more time and energy in my music. Modern compositions, with poetic lyrics sung in Portuguese and elaborated instrumental arrangements. In July 2021 I've started recording my first album with 10 original songs, at Studio 9 (Tenerife), with Agustín Buenafuente (Bass) and Tiago Braúna (Drums). In addition to the participation of the Canarian musicians Jonay Mesa (Guitar), Luís Suárez (Percussion) and the Brazilian Rozi Miranda (Saxo and flute). The release is planned for early 2022.
I've performed in several places in Tenerife. In many of them more than once, solo and also with a band. My last presentations were at the PLENILÚNIO Festival (Santa Cruz 2021) and at the 18th TENSAMBA Festival, at MUNA (Santa Cruz 2021). I've also performed at Un Chorrillo de Música (El Rosario 2019), Fiesta de La Música (La Laguna 2018), Los Lavaderos Live Music (Santa Cruz 2018), bars and associations such as Equipo Para, La Terrera Hostel, Rayuela Theater and others.
Throughout this season living in Tenerife, I've also performed in clubs and associations in Portugal, Spain, Brazil and France.
