About / Biography

Passionate about singing before even speaking properly (I was 4). I started singing in bands in 1996 and went through a lot of music, people, adventures, and fun... I had great experiences during those years with bands like Soul in Cage, White Shadows and Mastif. I moved to London in 2011, and I had a great year with the band Hagstone, recording an album and touring in the UK.

After that experience, I decided to start my solo career and, from that point, I've released 7 albums. I've been gigging around London as a solo artist for about 13 years, singing my material and covers. I've played everywhere: festivals, weddings, garden parties, pubs, restaurants, New Year's Eve, birthdays...

When I perform, I always look for interaction and contact with people. I love people singing back and partying with me, but I can also be "quiet" and play background chilled music if you prefer or the situation requests it. People usually compliment me for the setlist, and it's a big compliment because I change it based on the place and environment. Also, I'm happy to take requests if I know the song or if you can help me sing. :)

I also have a huge list of songs you can choose from, with different moods. Songs from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, (Otis Redding, J. Cash, Elvis, The Beatles, Creedence, Queen), lots of stuff from the 90s (Oasis, Robbie Williams, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers) to more modern tunes like Coldplay, Stereophonics or Kings of Leon. I also have many guitars and can play acoustic or electric, based on the songs or your preferences.
