Most memorable Next-Level Performance
Maybe it was when I started playing everything with my identity, I try to take to the world through my drumming my origins, from the city where I was born, I listened to everything, so I play everything that goes from the sambas derivatives, baião and capoeira to American Jazz. Music is emigration and there are no borders! -
What Drives Your Creativity?
In my case, I start to move everything, in the position of the drums, in the tunings, I change the skins, the weight of the drumsticks, the height of the cymbals and I start playing, always comes out something new to my ears and the body impels me a lot the creation...read a good book is great too! -
