My focus is to work on the sound, the proper technique of singing and to prepare the student to develop his/her vocal capacities.
I graduated in 2018 from Berklee College of with a dual degree in Music in Voice Performance and Film Scoring achieving Summa Cum Laude honors. I was a awarded the Latin American scholarship after my Berklee audition, the SGAE scholarship in 2016, 2017 and 2018 and the Alf Clausen Award 2018. Prior to my studies at Berklee I studied Voice Performance 4 years at Conservatorio Souza Lima in São Paulo (Brazil).
I've been singing in rock and pop bands for more than 20 years and the last five years I've focused my studies in jazz and brazilian music. In addition, I've been teaching voice since I started at Berklee, achieving great results for my students.
When it comes to singing lessons the styles I focus on are mainly jazz, pop, rock, musical theatre, brazilian music, r&b, blues, folk and fusion. I also teach songwriting, arranging, production, music theory and composition. I've also prepared students for auditions, performances or specific shows.
To start, I usually have a friendly talk with the student to know more about his/her background and goals. Every student is different so it's essential to adapt to the student's needs. Once this is set, we get to work!
Currently, I'm dividing my time between my voice students, my film scoring gigs, my prog rock band Nodus and additional voice gigs for other projects.
I enjoy a lot teaching and helping students to grow musically. The voice for me is the most beautiful instrument because of one simple reason: it has words. We, singers, have this powerful tool to communicate and express our feelings, good news is: Everyone can learn how to do it.
