When did you first start making music and what led you there?
I grew up in Brazil and was listening to music my whole life, but I only started playing at the age of 18. At that time, I was learning how to play guitar. After learning a couple of chords I started getting into composing, just like everyone else. I’ve always had so much to say but I’ve never been that good with words, so I guess music is the way I found to draw these words out of my heart.
Which artists are your biggest music inspirations?
I have so many influences that this question sounds tricky for me, however, there are two figures that stand out from the crowd: Bob Marley and Tom Jobim. What inspires me is the simplicity and geniality of their music, to create something new and spread it to the world.
Your music ranges from everything from ‘50s pop to Black Sabbath. How would you describe your sound and how did you come to it?
My philosophy is that no music can sound the same, every song has to be something new: a new rhythm, new chord progression, a new language. I like to listen to all genres and mix their musical elements together into a neutral but different style.
What can we expect from your show at Decibels Indie Showcase?
I’ve never done a gig before to be honest, this will be my first one. You will see someone with a lot of energy and will, but a lot to learn as well. I came to a conclusion that people enjoy spontaneity and that “sing together” atmosphere, that’s what I am aiming for.
Do you have any more music coming out we should keep an eye out for?
I’m releasing my first two singles over the coming months, and will be recording and releasing an album next year. Like every young emerging artist, what holds me back is the lack of resources and time, but things are getting better now and I will push myself until I get there – you guys will be hearing from me soon.
