Comecei na musica erudita ainda novo em 1985, estudei em conservatório por dois anos e me desinteressei totalmente da música clássica por ainda não conseguir sentir nenhuma paixão por este estilo, fiquei longe da música por longos cinco anos. Quando voltei a estudar por conta própria, mais ou menos em 1998 senti a necessidade de me aprofundar mais na música e principalmente no blues, então fui fazendo aulas particulares com diversos professores conforme o orçamento permitia, paralelamente a isso eu estava buscando um som especial a qual ninguém então tinha me ensinado até o momento, esse som era o do slide. Como o slide não esta presente em nossa cultura como na cultura norte americana e indiano, eu tive que penar para poder me aprofundar mais nessa técnica.
Hoje sou guitarrista da Cracker Blues, banda que lança este ano de 2009 o primeiro trabalho autoral com letras em português.
Minhas influências, com toda certeza, vêm dos artistas das antigas
tanto Blues, Country como Rock Sulista, mas também ouço os
conteporâneos: Son House, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Big Bill Broonzy,
Elmore James, John Money, Ry Cooder, Bob Brozman, Johnny
Winter, Jimmi Hendrix, Steve Ray Vaughan, Rory Gallagher,
Bonnie Raitt, Ron Hacker, The Allman Brothers, ZZ Top, Mark
Knopfler, Dave Hole, Eric Sardinas, Warren Haynes, Alan Jackson,
Albert Lee, Brad Paisley, Vince Gille, Waylon Jennings por ai vai
I started in classical music even further in 1985, studied at
conservatory for two years and I am totally disinterested in the
classical music still can not feel any passion for this style, I was
away from music for long five years. When I returned to study on
their own, more or less in 1998 I felt the need to deepen further the
music and especially the blues, then I was doing private lessons
with several teachers as the budget allowed, in addition to that I
was looking for a particular sound which nobody then had taught
me so far, this was the sound of the slide guitar. As the slide guitar
is not present in our culture as the culture and North American
Indian, I had to penar to me to further deepen this technique.
Today I am the Cracker Blues guitarist, band that launches this
year of 2009 the first copyright work with lyrics in Portuguese. My influences, with all certainty, are the artists of both old Blues,
Country and Southern Rock, but also hear the contemporaneous:
Son House, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Big Bill Broonzy,
Elmore James, John Money, Ry Cooder, Bob Brozman, Johnny
Winter, Jimmi Hendrix, Steve Ray Vaughan, Rory Gallagher,
Bonnie Raitt, Ron Hacker, The Allman Brothers, ZZ Top, Mark
Knopfler, Dave Hole, Eric Sardinas, Warren Haynes, Alan Jackson,
Albert Lee, Brad Paisley, Vince Gill, Waylon Jennings there will
