ABOUT

Singer song writer with a repertoire of Brazilian music, jazz, jazzy pop rock and originals on nylon accoustic guitar and voice I am very adaptable, i love funk and dance music and to get in the groove, but I am an all rouded musician too, great with chords, reharmonizations, guitar arrangements, can sing intricate melodies, arranges for six string bass, jazz standards on upright, a wide range of styles on drums and dance...(no, not really dancing) lol

What am I doing here!?
I'm too good for this site!
(Just joking)

I am probably being a bit biased here. LOL

I'm known for being good at delivering the groove really well on bass and any sort of drums.
You bet!
I've got the rhythm in me. :-)

Influences

Too many...
I like good songs to which I listen to not much as a musician but as an excitable passionate music lover.
From Steely Den to King Guizard.
On drums I am influenced by the funk drummers, Elvin Jones, Joe Morelo, the pop classics studio drummers...
On Bass, Ray Brown, Flea, Paul McCartney, the funk players and creative rock players in general.
On percussion I just play it and I know it's probably from listening to so much of it in Brasil, but I impress quite a lot. lol
On nylon guitar I try to arrange the way I want with all my influences playing a part here and there.
I love John Schofield and would love to absorb a bit of his playing but I am influenced mostly by the Brazilian MPB ways of treating the instrument.
