Introduction
As a multifaceted artist from São Paulo, Brazil, born in 1986, I am a composer, producer, digital artist, and writer. My journey takes me through music, art, and literature, where I constantly seek innovative ways to blend these elements.
Most of my creations, inspirations, and motivations come from a profound desire to connect with the divine through meditation, and a longing to stand apart from a manipulated world. Guided through astral projections, and rooted in an unbreakable faith in Christ, I also try to reflect the wisdom absorbed while living among Buddhists during my sacred pilgrimage to Nepal and India, where I met my wife.
When I release a cover or tribute to another artist, for example, it's a tribute to a moment, song, or album that somehow influenced my spiritual awakening during a time when I was still discovering my purpose on this planet.
Join me on this exploration of sound, vision, and words as we uncover the limitless possibilities of artistic expression.
Lifestyle
As a vegetarian who enjoys learning some recipes, I find peace in the early mornings, watching the sunrise before a gym session. I play tennis for fun, support Real Madrid, and admire the genius of Freddie Mercury on stage. My spiritual journey was also influenced by some TV shows like Saint Seiya, Juspion, and Lost, while experiencing lucid dreams that reminded me I don’t quite belong in this world. Despite disliking school, I studied Law, but I always stayed apart from the system, avoiding crowded spaces and refusing any drugs, while always holding on to my belief in miracles.

Musical Influences
Queen and Freddie Mercury changed my life, forever earning the titles of the greatest band and the best showman of all time in my eyes. At 15, I taught myself to play piano by mimicking Freddie's unique style in "Bohemian Rhapsody," moving my left hand over the right in an attempt to capture his gestures, even though I wasn’t playing real notes. To my surprise, within a week, I had composed my first simple melody. Without Freddie's influence, I wouldn't be playing any instruments or creating my own music today.
Later on, Coldplay expanded my horizons; in different moments of my life, their music has always managed to save me in some way. They are my favorite band of this century, especially for their work during their first ten years. My favorite album is Viva la Vida, and my favorite song is "Gravity," a B-side. If you're a Coldplayer or simply enjoy some new age music, explore Midnight Ghosts, my independent tribute album to Coldplay, a heartfelt project unfolding over 42 minutes and featuring 13 instrumental covers that capture the emotional essence of their music.
I was also inspired by other bands and artists such as Pink Floyd, Yes, Vangelis, John Lennon, Eric Carmen, Seiji Yokoyama, Nobuo Uematsu, Beethoven, Thirteen Senses, The Orange Lights, Keane, Radiohead, and others.
First Release (2018)
Although I work in a different field, I decided to produce and release, in 2018, an original instrumental album, with 14 tracks, entitled Among Gods. I would say that this album is a lonely journey through redemption until its culmination in a new era ahead of our time. [Learn More]
It took me a few years to complete this independent project – composing, producing, designing the artworks and logos, building the website and its sections, managing copyrights, handling social media, selling online, and everything in between. I did it all myself, and while it was exhausting, I knew that somewhere in the world, someone would understand and connect with the story I had to tell. It’s fiction, of course, unless you decide it’s not.
After that, I was ready to tell more stories and connect them with music and art.
