I grew up in an environment strongly influenced by an incredible musical variety. My father, a music lover by nature, owns a bar where the selection of quality music has always been a priority. Thus, I've met many artists and bands from different musical backgrounds and styles since a very early age, not usually heard by my generation. 

​

Even before I saw someone doing it, playing drums or percussion was always something that fascinated me.

I played in various local bands throughout my teens and quickly realized that I wanted to make a career out in the artistic world, especially in music.

 

So I started to study art in-depth and also I signed up in the conservatory of music in Portugal. Then I continued to study with masters in Portugal, England, Germany, and the USA. 

​When the band I was playing with Heavenwood) signed with MASSACRE RECORDS (GER), I was already living from art in general, but I felt what it is to work with major labels, having my work and records spread worldwide. When I noticed I was sharing the stage with bands such as SepticFlesh, Amorphis, Six Feet Under, Helloween, Dark Funeral, Fleshgod Apocalypse, WinterSun, Soen and many others…

​

Since received an invite to record for the album “The Tarot of The Bohemians”, along with Franky Costanza (Dagoba/Serial Drummer) and Daniel Cardoso (Anathema), I started to stand out more as a session musician for a variety of bands and artists, both live and studio, and also to be a member of debates and conferences about music on Radios, Streaming, Schools and TV shows. 

​

Most recently, I was elected 1 of the 10 Best Drum Performance of 2019 by The Prog Mind, for the “Translucent” album by Sollar.
