Born in Castelo de Vide (Portugal),moving to Lisbon very young.
Electronic music was the beginning of my career, I had a passion for effects transforming sounds done basically by a guitar source. The main equipment was a guitar and a guitar synthesizer with a sequencer for bass lines linked to a drum machine, and for background atmospheres, a string ensemble synthesizer.
I made several works for theatre, performers and other events, at the time.
The music of the 80..s started to fascinate me, and I did a fusion of electronic/new wave/pop, making of it my own main style.
Winner of the third place in a Modern Alternative Music Contest promoted by RRV(Rock Rendez-Vous)in Lisbon, 1985, that result opened a new dimension for my career.
Moving to Germany(Frankfurt am Main,Ruesselsheim),where I stayed 15 years there, building my own studio, doing my own music and productions for tv documentaries,publicity,and again theatre and performers. I was doing part of some local bands as guitar player and keyboarder, for example by "Call of the Wild".
Having the possibility to get in contact with the world I always liked to,Trance,Rave,Trip hop,Dance-Floor and Chillout, I made several works and collaborations with producers and DJ..s.
Now I live again in Lisbon, where I have my own recording studio, preparing my next album that will include "Will I see you again?" and "Angel in the Night" (songs done here in 2008).
Hope you enjoy my work...it is done with heart, because art is a big part in it!
