My musical journey
My based is London since 2003. I am a songwriter, producer, and educator.
My work is to amplify artistic excellence, cultural depth, and high-level music production.
With five recorded albums and an extensive portfolio of international projects, my work is dedicated to creating refined, distinctive, and meaningful musical experiences.
My academic background
My academic background includes a degree in Composition and Conducting from UNICAMP (São Paulo, Brazil), complemented by advanced instrumental training in guitar, as well as extensive development in piano/keyboard and voice.
This multidisciplinary foundation supports my work across performance, composition, recording, and education, allowing me to deliver a versatile and sophisticated artistic approach.
With extensive experience in studio recording and artist development, I work closely with musicians, creators, and institutions to shape artistic identities and achieve high-level results.
My work includes performance preparation, vocal and instrumental coaching, recording direction, and the development of original material, offering a fully integrated and personalized artistic process.
I research the rich diversity of Brazilian musical traditions with an emphasis on anthropology.
Rooted in cultural research through music and anthropology, my work draws from the rich diversity of Brazilian traditions while engaging with contemporary global contexts.
I collaborate with discerning clients, cultural institutions, and industry professionals seeking excellence, originality, and depth - whether in album production, curated artistic projects, or long-term cultural and educational initiatives.
WORK WITH ME
I offer bespoke, high-level musical services designed for individuals, artists, and organizations seeking depth, quality, and artistic distinction.
Each project is approached with precision, creativity, and a commitment to excellence.

Exclusive, high-level sessions designed for individuals seeking a deeply personalized and refined experience, combining technical mastery, artistic insight, and creative exploration. Sessions are available in person (London-based), as well as online for clients worldwide.
I offer coaching in individual and group formats, drawing from extensive experience working with artists at different levels. The work may include vocal and instrumental development (guitar, piano/keyboard, and voice), performance preparation, and stylistic exploration.
A key focus of my approach is the transmission of Brazilian musical knowledge - exploring regional styles, rhythmic languages, and cultural contexts - alongside selected global musical influences. For clients seeking continuity, this can evolve into structured online programs, combining pre-developed material with periodic live sessions.
Online Musical Guidance
