I’m passionate about music and have been playing guitar since 2003, when I got my very first one. I started gigging young, and my first concert was back in 2007. Since then, I’ve played in several rock bands in Teresina, Brazil, building up plenty of live experience.
My style is rooted in rock, but I love exploring anything that brings energy and emotion to the stage. You’ll see my main influences in my profile, they say a lot about the kind of sound I aim for.
Now based here, I’m looking to connect with musicians who want to make music for the joy of it, whether that’s jamming, rehearsing casually, or putting on the occasional gig.
If that sounds like your vibe, feel free to reach out!

Influences
I draw inspiration from guitar legends like Gary Moore, John Norum, Janick Gers, Slash, Vivian Campbell, and John Sykes. A huge influence for me is David Gilmour — his work with Pink Floyd has always been a major inspiration. I’m also inspired by iconic rock bands such as Iron Maiden, Deep Purple, Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, Marillion, Europe, Shaman, and Guns N’ Roses. These influences shape my playing and love for 70s, 80s, and classic rock.
