I’m a Rio de Janeiro native bassist/composer/arranger who specializes on Soul/Funk, Pop/Rock , Jazz and Brazilian Music. Graduated on upright bass in ‘94 at Uni-Rio Conservatory, I play any bass (upright, electric, fretless and synth) and have 30 years of experience recording and touring with some of Brazil's biggest stars, as well as leading my own projects - currently the Notre Jam jazz quartet, the Pedigree Dogs classic pop quintet and the Bicho Músico band (playing my own original material).
I'm currently the bassist on the acclaimed The Four Brasil TV show, and was also the bassist on the popular TV shows The Voice Brasil's first season (aired on 2012) and Claro Q É Rock during it's two seasons (aired on 2005 and 2006, when 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.
