In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember when my dad bought me my first electric guitar. I had started out on an acoustic, and one day we went to a guitar store just to browse. I was trying out a Squier, and he liked what he heard—so he decided to buy it right then and there. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Guns N' Roses, Use Your Illusion I Soundgarden, Superunknown Steve Vai, Alien Love Secrets - EP I enjoy the authenticity, artistic content and identity on these albums. They are a raw portrait of the artists in that time, not trying to copy any other and being true to their own vision. Plus they are still rock oriented and the production is A+. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Phase” This is one of the first songs I ever composed. After a period of writer’s block, the melody came to me in a dream. The piece went on to win national guitar contests in Brazil and remains a favorite among listeners. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? A highlight of my career so far was performing at international guitar festivals such as the Guitar Show in Padua, Italy, where I was the first Brazilian guitarist ever invited. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I aspire to expand my platforms and develop both free and paid educational content, aiming to support the growth of other guitarists and musicians. Ultimately, I hope to strengthen the community and bring instrumental music to a broader audience.
