I’m a Rio de Janeiro native bassist/composer/arranger who specializes on Soul/Funk, Pop/Rock , Jazz and Brazilian Music. Possessing Bachelor and Master degrees on double bass and Music practices through UNIRIO Conservatory, I have 30+ years of professional experience playing bass (upright, electric, fretless and synth), recording and touring with some of Brazil's biggest stars, as well as leading my own projects - currently the Notre Jam jazz quartet and the Pedigree Dogs classic pop quintet.
I've released 3 albums (as solo artist or co-leader) and was the house bassist on the acclaimed TV shows The Four Brasil, The Voice Brasil and Claro Q É Rock (in which I also acted as music director).
My recording and touring credits include :
Frejat, Milton Nascimento, Ivan Lins, Simone, Maria Gadú, Ana Carolina, Fernanda Abreu, Marcos Valle, Lulu Santos, Barão Vermelho, Lobão, Paulinho Moska, Leoni, Rita Benneditto, Serjão Loroza, Lokua Kanza, Avi Wisnia, Quexie Montana, among others.
On 2014 I put together my own professional home studio, 8VB (reads "an octave bellow") where I record bass tracks; write and record vocal, horn and string arrangements; and also produce full tracks for artists from all over the globe.
