I was lucky to have started my musical journey very young
My fist interaction with drums was at my grandma house , playing pots and frying pans. I grew up in an eclectic music household as my father had a huge vinyl collection
(From Classical music to Rock & Roll)
At the age of 9 I was already doing tours around Portugal with a band called "Feedback" which in 2009 became finalist in the first series of the TV show "Portugal got Talent "
EARLY MUSICAL JOURNEY
ACADEMIC PURSUITS
My family was very supportive with my career and always wanted me to take lessons with great drum teachers
I studied Drums on a conservatory and got the 5th degree diploma.
After that I went to a Jazz school (ART´J)
and finished the high school. I continued my studies on Jazz Drums and Piano at ESML and got the bachelor diploma. I've done several masterclasses with elite drummers and people who I found inspiring.

WHERE AM I HEADED ?
Drifting between stages, studios, and stories yet to be written. I’m currently shaping sounds and chasing ideas that don’t always have a name yet . Some projects are quietly unfolding behind the scenes, growing at their own pace. Where it all leads, I’m not entirely sure — I just follow the rhythm.
