Never disconnecting from electronic music (NERY) neither with the songs sung in Portuguese (Janeiro), nor with the worldmusic and reggae rhythms (Wooden Arm Tree), jazz fusion (Plexus) and ending in rock (DEUSA).
His artistic growth is largely due to the fact that he is self-taught, highlighting the interest from jazz to Indian music, as well as Afro-Latin rhythms alongside the Mechanical Engineering academic path. Over time some of his aspirations include jazz musicians but also modern music like Robert Glasper, Jason Linder, James Blake and BBNG, but also producers like Glenn Astro , Tsuruda but also Metroboomie among others.
