Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I have played cello for over 20 years, passing by the normal path as a cellist in orchestras, chamber music, more connected to the language of classical music for years but in 2020 taking the challenge to do what I always wanted that is learning the language of jazz to play any style of music I would like, so that´s my reality now. I am a jazz cello musician who collaborate with different artists and musician in Europe and Brazil manly.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: My style is very fluid in the way I really enjoy playing all the parts that a song has as the melody, chords, bass...like to sing with my instrument but also being rhythmical.

A: I love to work with Thundercat. His music helped me to find my path in music :)

A: At the moment I am working in a few different projects but in general I work on instrumental music as my own projects and collaborating with singer songwriters.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: I bring a different look to the song since I am an improviser cellist who has a more large experience than classical musician.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Normally, I record at home using a Focusrite interface on my Mac. When it is necessary, I go to studios depending on the clients' exigencies. Also, when required, a certain sound, mic, or any other specific suggestion, we can find a solution and I am open to.
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Learning your song fast and being sensitive to your and mine process of creativity.

A: Learn the music/song completely, getting inspired by it to create on the song's material with a new or more natural touch to the song/music.
