Padre Guilherme, from Guimarães, Portugal, was born in 1974 and has been a priest since 1999. He is a parish priest in the Archdiocese of Braga and a military chaplain with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Diocese of the Armed and Security Forces.

Padre Guilherme has become a reference by uniting the depth of sacred music with the energy of techno, crafting unprecedented sound experiences that resonate with audiences of every sensibility. He seeks a synthesis between the pulsating energy of techno and the contemplative depth of sacred music, showing that they are not opposing forces but complementary stages in the evolution of musical art. Each set, each composition, designed as a journey of timbral exploration, carries narrative elements that evoke both the collective ecstasy of the dancefloor and the transcendence of sacred space. 

With his unforgettable performance at World Youth Day 2023 in Lisbon, before 1.5 million young people, his name began to appear on the lineups of some of the world’s most prestigious electronic music events, including Afterlife at Hï Ibiza, Medusa Festival (Spain) and Zamna Festival (Chile). He has also performed at emblematic landmarks of great symbolic heritage, such as Cristo Redentor in Rio de Janeiro and Torre dos Clérigos in Porto. His tour schedule has taken him to countries such as Chile, Spain, Switzerland, Italy, Mexico, France, Romania, Belgium, and Brazil, consolidating his reputation as one of the most original and irreverent names in today’s electronic music scene.

Other milestones of his journey include performances at the Jubilee of Digital Missionaries and Catholic Influencers (Rome), Hope Happening (Brussels), La Clairière (Paris), Catholic Youth Day (Romania), H-Live (Mexico), Plaza Cibeles (Madrid), Sante Festival (São Paulo), Input (Barcelona), Lab The Club (Madrid), Looloo (Mexico City) and the Opening Ceremony of the Cândido de Oliveira Super Cup, organized by the Portuguese Football Federation at Estádio Algarve. These appearances demonstrate both his versatility and his capacity to adapt to diverse cultural and spiritual settings.

His discography includes releases such as “The Church Bells” (with Ebmath, via Lux Aeterna Records) and “Citadel” (with Ginchy, via Errorr).  His artistic vision merges techno and sacred music seeking ways to amplify vast benefits: techno fuels focus and energy, while sacred music fosters relaxation and emotional balance. Together, these languages create a holistic experience that unites mental stimulation, physical well-being and inner peace, touching audiences in both innovative and profound ways.  His work also extends to remixing tracks from other artists that reinforce messages of peace, humanity, hope, charity, solidarity, respect, tolerance and joy.

Padre Guilherme’s trajectory has been widely highlighted in the international press, with features and interviews in outlets such as Reuters, Forbes, New York Post, The Guardian, Clubbing TV, Music Map, De Telegraaf, ABC, RTP, Sábado, and Magg, among many others. This media presence reflects the cultural and social impact of his proposal, which goes far beyond the religious circuit.

Close to his audience, he makes a point of sharing music and experiences across social media — Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, SoundCloud, Spotify, YouTube — becoming a true catalyst for intergenerational dialogue and connection.  The end of 2025 promises to be decisive, with the release of a nine-track album “The Body”, created in collaboration with artists from Portugal, Italy, Brazil and Argentina. It will also mark the consolidation of his label, Lux Aeterna Records, dedicated to works that unite faith and creativity, electronic music and innovation, proving that when music is authentic, there are no boundaries to the human experience.

DJ and catholic priest, he stands as a living example of how art can unite cultures, renew spirituality and how spirituality itself can breathe new life into electronic music. His path is, above all, an affirmation of openness and hope, showing that music, as the best of the electronic tradition teaches, remains one of the most powerful ways to touch the human soul and bring hearts together.
