ABOUT

Brazilian vocalist and guitarist, now based in Sydney. I’ve been playing and writing songs since I was a kid, I co-founded a band called Ketchup Drama that's currently on hiatus while I’m living abroad. Back home, we spent years performing and developing our sound, and now I'm looking to connect with local musicians for jam sessions, gigs, or new creative projects. I’m passionate about expressive, honest music, whether it's raw garage rock, dreamy indie, or stripped-down acoustic. Always open to experimentation and collaboration.
