I have had many TV appearances on all Portuguese main TV channels. I played with different projects over the years. Here is a small video compilation:
We all had projects during the Covid times. One of mine was to develop my piano playing. I did have some basic lessons during my Classical training but it was many years ago and I wouldn’t be able to play anything if I stumbled into a piano. So, I used my free time at home to practice a bit every day and look online for tips and exercises.
I managed to get to a level where I can comfortably play with friends and have done a small project with a very good friend who sings beautifully.
I still have much to learn and develop, but as a first step, I’m happy where I currently am.
I started learning the guitar when I was 14 with an amazing human being called Julio Viana. It is incredible when we find people who care and end up changing our life for better.
I have then decided to join the Academia de Musica de Viana do Castelo to learn more formally and to also learn music theory. I have done 5 years of classical guitar together with other modules such as Music Theory, Choir, Music History and Composition.
I played in various bands and projects with friends and then moved to more professional experiences such as being a resident guitar player at Quinta da Malafaia and then playing with the Actress/Singer Rita Ribeiro.
After moving to the UK, I have player in a couple of bands as well. A Cover’s band playing Soul/Motown and later on a Pop/Soul original band.
Learn more about al of these in this section.
On this website I will try to let you know a bit more about me and my projects.
I am passionate about a variety of things and the one connecting them all is the passion for learning. I really enjoy learning about different things and gaining new skills. In the same way, I love passing that knowledge and information to other people as I find it so fascinating that I want everyone to know it.
I will try to split the website into sections where you can find out more about specific types of skills, projects and hobbies, and how these might help you too.
Don’t forget to visit me on Social Media and let me know a bit about you too.
