Bio:

..

I'm a player since my 12 years old; never had any guitar lessons' teacher. I'm a self study at my home listening other people playing the guitar. My Grandfather and Grandmother (in memorian) was musicians, my uncles are musicians too. I was born experiencing many types of music, brasilian music.

I'm a curious about the other countries' culture. My first group born in 1990 (Pandemonium). At this group, I sang for 2 years, but only voices didn' t enjoy me ... so I bought my first guitar, ARIA PRO II, and created a female group called Astraeus with my friends. With Astraeus, I played for some cities in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. In 1990, I studied for one year voices lessons in Villa Lobos School. It was a cool moment of my life, learning about the guitar, about string, about the sound of my heart for play - In some shows, I traveled by myself and didn't have rode for anybody !!

In 1997, Astraeus was gone, and, in 1999, I went to Savant to record "Portrait of Reality" EP - in group only 3 months! Next some gigs, we record "Evidence Elimination" EP - these songs are here for listen too. In Savant, I played in 2005 at some cool places: Vila Velha, Jacaraipe; just little bit from Rio. Playing open a gig of brasilian group Krisiun.
