It is incredible when we find people who care and end up changing our life for better. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After moving to the UK, I have player in a couple of bands as well. A Cover&#8217;s band playing Soul\/Motown and later on a Pop\/Soul original band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about al of these in this section.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I started learning the guitar when I was 14 with an amazing human being called Julio Viana.
