Brazilian vibist Lucas Amorim has established himself as an exciting bandleader and in-demand sideman on the New York scene.

Lucas was born in Florianopolis, Brazil and began studying drums at the early age of 8 and soon was playing at local clubs and at recording sessions also appearing on television and radio programs multiple times.

In 2011, looking for better opportunities Lucas moved to Sao Paulo and was admitted into the prestigious "Conservatory of Tatui" for the Symphonic Percussion program.  In his second semester of study Lucas competed at the institution’s percussion championship winning first place which caught the local community's attention.
