The best gig we've ever done was a wedding performance at the stunning Quinta da Pacheca. The setting was absolutely magical, with its picturesque vineyard backdrop creating the perfect ambiance for live jazz. What made it truly special was the connection we felt—not only with the couple and their guests but also with the incredible team coordinating the event. It felt less like 'just another gig' and more like being part of a beautifully orchestrated celebration. The warmth and appreciation we received made it an unforgettable experience!
My favorite type of event is one where live music becomes an integral part of the atmosphere, enhancing the emotions and creating unforgettable moments. Weddings, for example, are incredibly special—there’s something magical about setting the tone for a couple’s big day and being part of such a meaningful celebration. I also love intimate gatherings and private events where the music can truly connect with the audience on a personal level. It’s all about creating moments that resonate and stay with people long after the event ends.
I’ve been passionate about music for as long as I can remember. My journey began with a deep love for jazz and improvisation, which led me to years of studying, composing, and performing. I started gigging during my early days as a guitarist, playing small jazz clubs and private events. Over time, this evolved into performing at weddings, corporate events, and festivals. Each experience taught me the importance of adaptability, connecting with audiences, and delivering performances that make an impact. Today, I bring that same dedication and passion to every event I’m a part of.
I’ve been deeply influenced by legendary jazz guitarists like Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, and Jim Hall, as well as modern players like Julian Lage. Their creativity, phrasing, and ability to tell a story through music have shaped my approach to both performance and composition.
As for my favorite artist, it’s hard to choose just one, but I’d say Bill Evans holds a special place in my heart—his emotional depth and harmonic sophistication are unparalleled.
The greatest song of all time? That’s a tough one, but I’d go with 'Body and Soul.' It’s a timeless standard that embodies the essence of jazz: complex, emotional, and endlessly inspiring.

I'm happy to play outside if it’s not too cold or windy, but I ask for shade, a flat, level surface, and a power supply close to the performance area.
We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 3 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.
Previous clients have described my music as a high-quality performance that offers an exceptional listening experience for those who truly appreciate live music.
