He was born in Espírito Santo do Pinhal, it was in the small town of Santo Antônio do Jardim, located in the interior of São Paulo, that the drummer grew up, put down his roots and started his musical history. Directly influenced by his grandfather Irineu who was passionate about music and strummed a few notes on the guitar.

From a very early age, he felt seduced by percussion as he followed the rehearsals of the municipal fanfare from afar. Fulfilling this fascination with drums, when he was still six years old, his godmother presented him with a surdo, leveraging his entry into the city's fanfare, where he remained for years playing various instruments such as zabumba, snare drum, repique, cornet and chromatic lyre. At the age of fourteen he started his drum studies, seeking guidance from musicians in the region and in a short time he started playing professionally in some dance bands and country duos, performing in many cities in the interior. Years later, he had his first contact with Brazilian instrumental music and Jazz when he joined the renowned Tatuí Conservatory.

 

In 2006 he moved to São Paulo in order to seek new challenges and different paths, joining the Faculty of Music Carlos Gomes, where he graduated in the Bachelor of Drums and Full Degree in Music.

He has had the opportunity to tour showing his work as a drummer in countries such as Uruguay, Argentina, Spain, Portugal, France, Mexico, Jamaica, Morocco, Gibraltar, Chile and Ecuador.
