I believe that simplicity is the key to having a good life and without many worries. Find what really makes sense in life and always try to learn from the experiences of life. I am a professional musician since 2009 and I have worked in the state of Ceará as instrumentalist, singer and songwriter. I play what Brazil has to offer in music term as Choro, Samba, Bossa Nova, Xote and other rhythms of our popular culture. The recently launched my first authorial album "Entre o sonho e o som " and I intend to soon also launch the project "Viola no Mundo".
