Interview
How did you get started in music?
I started in my early teens, around the age of 11. My father’s side of the family is very musical, with several instrumentalists and people who love to sing. This environment encouraged my contact with instruments. The church also fostered my interest in musical activities through participation in choirs and instrumental groups.
• Who or what has influenced you the most on your musical journey?
The plurality of Brazilian music, with its richness of styles and rhythms. This is a very broad question; in truth, influence comes from everywhere for those who breathe music.
• What does your typical process look like, from the first idea to the finished track?
For me, making music is a matter of practice. It is a natural act. Music doesn’t just come from a “momentary cosmic inspiration.” Usually, I define what I want to create, choose a rhythmic cell from that context, and develop a rhythmic progression. This is the foundation of the work. The next step is finding a melodic line capable of connecting with the rest.
Depending on what the song calls for, I may invite a collaborator to participate. By this stage, there is a defined composition—a structure with a specific BPM and duration. The rest comes down to recording and the use of electronic programming.
The final stage of this process is Editing, for cutting and cleaning tracks; the Mix I envision, where I determine volumes, effects, and the panning of each element; and finally, Mastering, which brings the final volume required by the major digital platforms.
• What do you enjoy outside of making music?
I enjoy being in contact with nature, watching a great movie, and reading a good book.
• Can you tell us more about creating the of “A LUZ DO SOL” and “FOREST´ECHOS “?
These are themes I created with my friend and musical partner, also Brazilian, Anttmarc (Antônio Marcílio).
• “A LUZ DO SOL” is a light Jazzy Lofi track where the guitar takes the melodic lead, supported by pianos and pads.
• “FOREST´ECHOS” is a musical lament featuring the atmosphere of wood snapping, seeking to symbolize the agony of our forests in the face of wildfires.
