Hi there,
I’m a Brazilian drummer, multi-instrumentalist, and composer based in Italy, with nearly 30 years of professional experience both live and in the studio. I’ve worked as a session musician with a wide range of artists around the world, contributing to projects across diverse genres and musical traditions.

I proudly collaborate with and endorse Tama Drums, Paiste Cymbals, Remo Drumheads, and Lewitt Microphones—brands that reflect my dedication to quality and musical excellence.

I’m here to offer my musicality and experience to help bring your project to the next level. Whether you need arrangements, studio recordings, or live performance support, I bring groove, versatility, and professionalism to every collaboration.

If you’re looking for a reliable and creative musician to work with, I’d love to connect.
