I am originally from Brazil, and now living between Houston and Los Angeles.
When I was about 11 years old, I realized that music and specially rhythm was my passion. From those days of School Marching Bands, I never stopped pursuing my excellence in it. Born in Southern Brazil, I moved to Rio de Janeiro to study at Villa Lobos School of Music. Learned a lot going to neighborhood Samba Schools, and I also took private lessons in Rio and Bahia.
In the early 90's moved to Los Angeles, CA, where I had the opportunity to perform and record with musicians from all over the world. An amazing learning experience! For family reasons went back to Brazil in 2005 and opened a recording studio and production company. Spent a few years back and forth between L.A., Rio and Natal (in Northeastern Brazil).
In 2013, I moved to Houston -TX, for a new and exciting chapter of musical adventures. New musical projects are being born out of my recording studio. Performances as World Music DJ, and educational projects for adults and kids are also happening.
