Band History:

English:
I was born in 1974, in Diadema, Sao Paulo, Brazil. I played with a couple of bands in Brazil before moving to Germany. In 2005 I joined the band Mysterious Dark (http://www.mysterious-dark.de/Englisch.htm) in Germany. In 2006 I joined the coverband Hard to Handle (www.hard2handle.de.vu). At the end of 2006 I left Mysterious Dark and soon after started the band "60 seconds", which played original songs influenced by punk, rock and roll and pop.

After relocating to the US, I joined the cover band "Knockabout" in Philadelphia. Some rock, some blues, some soul, some radio-pop (nobody is perfect). :)

I left Knockabout in early 2009 in order to pursue again the idea of playing originals. Currently I take part in a 60's psychedelic rock project.

Portugues:
Nasci nas quebrada de Diadema em 1974, certo ? Toquei em algumas bandas de rock no Brasil antes de me mudar pra Alemanha. Em 2005 comcei a tocar com um cara que comanda uma banda chamada Mysterious Dark (http://www.mysterious-dark.de/Englisch.htm). Em 2006 entrei na banda de covers Hard to Handle (www.hard2handle.de.vu). No final de 2006 sai'Â? do Mysterious Dark. Pouco depois comecei a tocar com a molecada do 60 Seconds. Tocavamos aquela tradicional mistura de punk, rock and roll e pop.

Nos EUA, entrei na banda de covers "Knockabout". Um pouco de rock, blues, soul e musiquinha pop de FM (ninguem e' perfeito) :)

Sai dessa banda no comeco de 2009 pra tentar mais uma vez tocar numa banda de musica propria. Atualmente participo de um projeto de rock psicodelico dos anos 60.

Blues and rock and roll. Folks like REM, Neil Young, BB King, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cream and Radiohead are the reference for me.
