UPDATE:
A HUGE thank you to everyone who messages and comments, I love you all so much, you are the ones who make this whole crazy journey which is my musical career possible. I wish I could reply to everyone but that's becoming really hard to do, but EVERYTHING you write gets to me and I'll keep in touch with you as much as possible through the blog, pictures and stories from the road and whatever crazy crap my mind can come up with. This MySpace is maintained and updated by my webmaster but all the text here will come from me personally.

My history: I have been involved with music since I was 8. Started playing the piano, basically forced by my parents but ended up falling in love with the instrument many years later, so I'm glad they made me take lessons back then. However my world changed drastically when I was 10, that was when I was introduced to Rock bands like Skid Row, Guns n' Roses. From that moment on, I wanted to sing, play guitar and dreamed of touring the world. My parents thought of locking me inside the house or strapping me to my bed to prevent that from happening, because mom thought I was going to be a ballerina, dad thought I was going to be a soccer player... well, I HAD to go the other way, the family didn't have a Rock singer yet...

I started my first band when I was 15 and since then, I've met some great people, played some really big venues and have performed and recorded in North and South America and Europe, worked with some excellent professionals. Currently, I am the lead singer for SHADOWSIDE.

Nowadays I use KAWAI/FRITZ DOBBERT keyboards and pianos on all of my recordings and every time I play the keys live and wear LADY SNAKE stage clothes.

Personal notes: I was born in Brazil, in a nice sunny beach city called Santos. My family is mostly Portuguese and German but I did grow up with the Brazilian philosophy, which is basically whenever life slaps you in the face, you give it your best smile and move on. I am a Christian but I'll be friends with you whether you are or not. I'm not here to judge people, that's His job and not mine. I only care about your heart and nothing else! I'm very much into football/soccer (almost became a professional athlete instead of a musician), surfing, drawing, painting, singing (obviously!) and collecting souvenirs from places I visit - if you wanna make me happy, give me one - lol Oh and by the way - never come to me saying cats suck because I absolutely LOVE them. All animals rule, but I do have lots of cats at home.

Some like to call me the Angel with Horns. Go figure... ;)
