Childhood

He made it to play almost every instrument he could put his hands on, being influenced by The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and the Tropicália movement.

Beginning of the career

His professional debut happened on a TV Tupi music festival, in 1979, when he made an arrangement for a reggae song of Chico Evangelista. From small solo shows at bars to performances with bands like Bom Quixote, Sossega Leão and Banda Performática, his musical career began to have a great rising. Some well-known names in São Paulo, like Arrigo Barnapé, asked him to play with them.

After concluding high school at the Equipe school, he entered Philosophy at PUC and Psychology at Mogi Mirim. But after a few classes, he quit. So he entered the Music course of Escola de Comunicações e Arte (ECA) (Art and Communication School) of USP, but as the course was strongly focused on classical music, he quit it too.
