I started making music at the age of 13. Later painting also became a part of my life. But it was only when I started travelling that I found out my life would be filled with music and art.
So I spent the rest of my life putting my feelings into music and paintings.

Recently Paulo Duarte Filipe made a roadmovie about my life, music, artwork and vision, which should be released in the movie theaters, in Europe around the end of this year.
