About Me
I'm a multi-instrumentalist artist (well, I do make art!) originally from Belo Horizonte in Minas Gerais, Southeastern Brazil. Strongly attached to my roots, I'm influenced by the 'Barroco Mineiro', by Afro-Brazilian rytmhs and also by the beautiful landscapes in the Serra da Mantiqueira and Canastra mountain ranges. If you translate the name of my city, you'll have literaly 'beautiful horizon'.
I'm really into the concept of skill-stacking, therefore, I pursue the things I most love doing and try to be my best at each of them. I love producing audiovisual media, specifically when it has to do with music in general. I also love organisation, I guess that's why I've always been into business and enterpreneurship.
I AM INSANELY CRAZY ABOUT LANGUAGES
How I wish I could speak all of them! As a matter of fact, languages and music are the two ways of communication that I spend most of my time with and somehow they are very similar to me. Both of them has taken me to places where I've never dreamed of before, thus not always geographic places, if you get me.
As a group musician, I have travelled to states such as Maranhão, Goiás and Distrito Federal. From early 2018 to mid 2019, I've occupied the bench as the main pianist of the "Big Band da UEMG" (State's University Big Band) when bumped into the chance of moving abroad. Moving to Galway in Ireland in 2019, I've started to perform on the streets playing Jazz Standards on the Saxophone. I've performed in pubs in Galway and Dublin as part of the brass section of the experimental band 'The Curly Organ' and additionally I was responsible for the guitar parts on a few concerts with the 'Galway Choro Ensemble'.
In 2021 I've moved to Berlin in Germany to pursue an Economics degree and more experience in life while jotting down all those experiences to be transformed into music, building up my original composition work.
Now, as I update this about me section on the 19th of Dezember 2024, I am graduated! I officially give myself the title of -
Economusician.
To be very honest (not bragging) I'm the most organised musician I know in person in the actuallity and although my skills on the practice side are not as sharp as I wished them to be, I'm super happy with my current achievements.
My graduation period was very challenging as I went through a lot of struggle on my adaptation to Berlin and with to the new cultures and languages, yes, plural!
In Ireland it was much easier to cope with that - in the heart of Europe is different!
I'm back with more energy into music, currently learning about conducting, undertaking an intership at a Chamber Orchestra/Choir project and leaning towards new possibilities to become a piano teacher and correpetitor.
