  • Bio

    In October of 1975 I felt on earth. In State of Rio Grande do Sul, south of Brasil, to be more specific... I was a "normal" child just like any other (well, I think so…), but I found out music very very very soon, when I was 10 years old. Artists like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and David Bowie could be heard in my turntable when I was just 12. By this time, I started to play my first lines on the bass guitar, but I changed to the keyboards when I discovered the MOOG synth sounds in "A Clockwork Orange" (Stanley Kubrick's movie) soundtrack, and other vintage keyboard sound hearing artists as Keith Emerson, Brian Eno, Kraftwerk, Jean-Jacques Perrey and, mainly, Sigue Sigue Sputnik, my second true love (the first love affair was with the MOOG synth, of course). My first professional band was "Acretinice me Atray" in 1997, and with these band I appeared for the first time on a record. Also in those "Acretinice" days I began to work with my band mate Jimi Joe, which first solo album "Saudade do Futuro" (Pineapple Music, 2005) was the first album I worked as producer, almost ten years later. Well, after that I played with almost every band and artist in Rio Grande do Sul and recorded my frist solo album, the all-instrumental "Petiscos: Sabor Churrasco", in which I played my whole arsenal of vintage keyboards (Moogs, Farfisa Organs, Wurlitzer electric pianos, vocoder, ARP synths and many many others…). By these time, brazilian music press began to pay attention on me. But it wasn't enough for me. So I moved to Sao Paulo, in 2005. And since then, I live here. I love these city! Here, I work as a record producer and studio musician and keep on rockin' on my solo shows and solo records. I have my own label, the totally independent "Pineapple Music", and in last year, in june, 16th, I released my second solo album, "Supersexxxysounds" (you can hear some music from "SSS" here on my profile). My next record will be called "Zeitgeist/Propaganda" and you can also hear some tunes o that here too!!! Check it out!!! Well, hope you enjoy that!!!
