About
On the record
I have been a guitar player and composer since 1998 and a guitar teacher since 2006. I have played for many bands in my career so far, from classic rock to metal and original song writing bands. As a guitar teacher I began teaching friends for free. When I went to the FAAM Music University, for the bachelor's degree in guitar, I started teaching professionally as an independent teacher. At FAAM I had classes of music notation, singing, rhythm, regency, music perception, etc. The second university was UFSCAR, where the course was music pedagogy, focused on developing teaching strategies and skills. From 2006 to 2019 I had many students of different ages and backgrounds who managed to enhance their abilities and music knowledge through my guidance. In 2015 I founded the band Arken to fulfil my needs of writing songs and managing the project. The band was formed in São Paulo, Brazil, where in 2018 was released a self entitled EP, with four songs, followed by the Arken Opening Tour, that covered several cities in the countryside of São Paulo state, ending in a major event called Metal Stock Festival 2019, playing alongside some of the biggest metal bands in Brazil. In 2020 the single Hope was released for the compilation Roadie Metal - Six Years Heavy. In 2021 I changed headquarters to Luxembourg city, where I now live with my family.
