Bass Guitar, Drums, Saxophone.ABOUT
The development of my style is the result of a lifetime of musical influence. Growing up in a talented musical family meant that I was always surrounded by different forms of music. My dad was a drummer collaborating with various bands, and my parents exposed me to a wealth of music as a child, all of which influenced my development.
My first venture into learning an instrument myself came when I started to play the piano aged just 3 years old. Later I began to play drums and self taught myself classic acoustic guitar, which I continued to play the guitar from the age of 13, joining the Conservatorium of Music to develop my skill, and still playing until present, a decision which I never looked back from.
My musical journey began in Brazil where I developed my musical tastes and interests, playing Bossa Nova. After realising that making music was my main goal and since moving to Australia my music ambition started to grow.
I now have a acoustic jazz/bossa nova duo with my gorgeous partner and I DJ House Music amongst Sydney night life.
I am, an avid listener and collector of House music, I began my dj career in late 2000, However it was only in 2006 after migrating to Australia that I unleashed my talents to the public, performing at Private parties, LGBT events,and various nightclubs around Sydney including Carlisle bar & Beauchamp hotel. Playing a vital role for Sydney's gay community running & performing at LGBT parties and Mardi Gras floats. My Music style is a mix of many styles and ranges from deep house, progressive, nu-disco & tribal house which is definite reflection of my Brazilian roots.
