Essa música eu escrevi em um momento dificil quando um pai de uma pessoa muito querida pra mim faleceu num acidente idiota de carro! É uma música sobre a morte, tema recorrente em minhas músicas hj em dia, Mas com uma pegada bem existencial!

O Victor Rice, dono da maioria dos meus arranjos, captou o tom soturno muito bem com a sua escaleta/melodica dolorida!

Enjoya aí

A Hora

Just a Sam Cooke favorite fo mine that I recorded on the iphone mic in my bedroom on a blue day!

Bring it on home - Sam Cooke

Seleção das minhas top 3 do último álbum do meu projeto querido Peixoto & Maxado, aonde tenho a oportunidade de me juntar com pessoas talentosas como O Mauro Motoki, Fabio Pinch e o Peixe, pra pensar um pouco fora da caixinha! 

Be a Better Man

O que falar de Arthur Verocai?
O cara é Maestro, arranjador e regente de enúmeros hits da bossa nova da pesada deis dos anos 70. Nomes como Jorge Ben Jor, Elis Regina e por ai vai... 
Composta por mim e pelo Fábio Pinch do 12$ , quando nasceu essa melodia, ao meu ver, já funcionava profunda e misticamente bem! Quando o Verocai escreveu os arranjos de cordas realmente explodiu minha cabeça! Eu percebi que o cara entendeu que queriamos fazer algo especial... 
A letra, que é uma declaração de amor ( ou ódio ) pela cidade , no caso SP, fecha essa costura de sentimentos fortes com os arranjos intensos, espero que  realmente essa faixa não se apague com o tempo.... 




Parking Spot Feat. Arthur Verocai

Trouble feat. Agent Jay ( Slackers )

Whatever feat Monique Maion

Can't imagine how I was happy to witness Jamaican Legend Cedric Brooks, laying down a beautiful and loose sax solo in this track! The lyrics , in portuguese, It's a message of peace to the nation of  Afghanistan

Afeganistão feat. Cedric Brooks

It all began for me around 2002 when I formed a band called Firebug . Back then I had only peaces of what-I-thought-it-was reggae songs. Then I watched those ideas breathe into life in the form of rocksteady and ska by the hands of one of the most talented, and very active,  jamaican music producer/sound engineer/multi instrumentalist, who later became a very close friend of mine: Victor Rice, who had recently stablished himself in São Paulo, Brazil, my native town. As you can see in this virtual spot, everything I ever wrote it's ether produced or mixed by Victor himself! 
After a couple of years we've put out 3 records of pure and sincere rocksteady, ska, reggae and soul and I found my ever-growing love for Jamaican music! By 2010, I had gone touring with the Skatalites more then once, had backed artists such as Pauline Black (The Selecter) and Manu Chao, had shared the stage with many of today's rocksteady and ska artists.
Here you will find one of my proudest achievements as a songwriter, as well as the result of very special moments where I had the chance to record with people I really respect and admire: You will find , among these songs, sax solos of the legendary jamaican dinosaur Cedric Brooks, trumpet solos by Kevin Batchelor from the Skatalites, powerful vocals and lyrics from mr. Glen Pine from The Slackers, Co-writing tunes with Chris Murray, trombone from Buford O'Sullivan, guitars from Agent Jay ( Slackers ) and many more cool cats!
