More about me
I’m a singer, communicator and educator, with more than 20 years of stage experience.
Music has always been in my life. Born in Brazil, I started learning piano at school. Growing up, I explored different music styles – until I found my way. I fell in love with rock music, started a band, and was soon on stage, sharing with my passion with growing audiences.
In Japan since 2018, I perform every week in livehouses and music bars, collaborating with the best musicians in Tokyo. My styles range from classic rock to jazz, through blues, funk and disco.
My favorite artists include Queen, Led Zeppelin, The Carpenters, Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Michael Jackson.
Besides my musical activities, I have been working in communication, media and as a teacher in international schools.

I transform karaoke enthusiasts into confident stage performers, band jammers, and vocal dream achievers.
