SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Brazilian born and settled in Australia since 2008, I started learning to play the guitar when I was 16. My interest for the “lows” came naturally so I bought my first bass, which became my passion.
I've been playing live gigs and recording with a number of bands since then. Most recent projects being ManaLion and Kongofunk.
I've moved to Newcastle on 2023 and now looking to join/start a band, casual jams or freelancing. I'm open to music genres and love playing Funk, Reggae, Rock, Soul, Afro, Brazilian and Latin, Hip Hop, pretty much anything that make people dance
