His musical career started as vocalist of the hard rock band Kabbalah, After hearing Jeff Beck’s album “Blow by Blow”, he realized that the British guitarist had soul and funk influences.

In 1997 he supplied the soundtrack to the film, Pequeno Dicionário Amoroso (The Book of Love). In 1994 lived in New York for a year. There he recorded an album with American musicians that has not been released yet. He discovered the universes of classical music, which eventually reflected on his musical conception. Once opposed to Brazilian music, he discovered that foreign artists had recorded Brazilian songs, such as recordings of Francis Hime’s Minha by jazz artist Bill Evans, and discovered a partnership between Brazilian Marcos Valle and American Leon Ware, famous for composing the song I Wanna Be Where You Are, recorded by Michael Jackson.
