From Knockin’ on Heavens Door to the present days

I've learnt the first guitar chords when I was 15 years old. My uncle taught me Knockin‘ on Heavens Door. And then I start writing my own songs.

Singing came a little later, at 17. In 2004, I debuted in TERRA PRIMA, still active nowadays, with whom I recorded two studio albums and one live.

Inspired by rock singers on its many styles, from Grunge to Metal, passing through Pop and Hard Rock, such as Axl Rose (Guns n’ Roses), Daniel Johns (Silverchair), Andre Matos (ex-angra, R.I.P.) and Steven Tyler (Aerosmith), I started singing in cover bands. I also learned about bands such as Muse, The Killers and 30 Seconds to Mars, which have added a lot of new nuances to my voice.

Terra Prima recorded both studio albuns in Sao Paulo with Marcello Pompeu and Heros Trench (both winners on Latin Grammy Awards) from Korzus. This partnership led me to the Recording Engineer of Korzus album Legion (2014 - AFM Records) and to write Bleeding Pride lyrics. In 2013, I was responsible for DUNE HILL’s debut album (White Sand) musical production.

In 2016, Terra Prima released HELLCIFE LIVE, a live album. I also directed the film crew and edited. The same happened on Thomas videoclip, including the underwater scenes. Both can be watched on Terra Prima’s Youtube.

In 2025 there will come a Metal Opera called Pirate Ship! So..
... join the crew and come closer!
