My Jazz Story

I love jazz because of its great contribution to the history of music. I was first exposed to jazz as a teenager through a local radio program. The first jazz record I remember buying was Billie Holiday's. I was intrigued by that deep, unusual and touching voice. My work is an amalgamation of the classic jazz I´ve received from an early age and my music influences as a Brazilian. My advice to new listeners is listen with your ears and your heart.
