I am a Brazilian guitarist, bassist, and arranger. I have recorded and produced albums that feature collaborations with musicians such as André Mehmari, Jaques Morelenbaum, Teco Cardoso, and Carol Panesi. As an instrumentalist, I carry diverse musical influences that span Rock and Roll, Brazilian Popular Music (MPB), Jazz, and Classical Music.
I studied popular music at the State University of Campinas, São Paulo, one of the best colleges in Brazil, where I currently do a postgraduate course in this area. My musical initiation took place with rock, but my focus has always been Brazilian popular music and its various genres such as bossa nova, samba and baião. Over time I also studied jazz and classical music.
I have been working as a musician for over 15 years, accompanying singers, making recordings, shows, composing soundtracks, etc. Among my most recent works are the album Trem Doido (2018), the album Água Clara (2022), in which I worked with the music producer, arranger and instrumentalist, and the album Raízes nas Nuvens (2022), in which I work as instrumentalist, composer, arranger and music producer.
How can I contribute to your work?
I specialize in nylon guitar, but I've always played electric guitar, both semi-acoustic and solid-body guitars, and fretless bass. I play virtually any genre of Brazilian music and have recorded several global music genres such as jazz, funk and pop. I like to use effects and produce interesting sounds, but I also record a lot of acoustic guitar.
For recordings I currently use Reaper, but I can use another DAW, depending on the working conditions.
