For nearly thirty years, playing the flute and composing music have been my way of navigating the world. Born in São Paulo, Brazil, my musical journey has been eclectic and deeply rooted in diverse traditions. I studied flute and composition at universities in Brazil and Belgium, while also exploring and performing the vibrant street music of my homeland.

​

Over the years, I’ve been privileged to perform as a guest musician with symphony orchestras and chamber groups across Brazil, Europe, and Latin America. I’ve also collaborated and recorded with artists who have profoundly influenced me, including Egberto Gismonti, Zeca Assumpção, and Itibere Zwarg. Inspired by these experiences, I formed a group to perform my own compositions, an endeavor that took me across Brazil, Cuba, and Latin America from 2002 to 2011.

​

In 2012, I relocated to Belgium, where I continued to develop as a composer and performer. My works have been brought to life by remarkable musicians such as conductor Ivan Meylemans, pianist Ashot Katchatourian, flutist Berten D’Hollander, and the KU-Leuven Symphony Orchestra. I also collaborated with Maria João Pires and the Equinox project, a fulfilling partnership that lasted until 2020.

Since 2023, I’ve been performing Minimal Dreams, a solo project that combines my compositions with the expressive range of the flute family. This work has taken me to prestigious international flute festivals and concert halls in the US, Brazil, Belgium, Holland, and Austria, and it represents an exciting new chapter in my musical journey.

​

Through social action projects in both Brazil and Belgium, I’ve witnessed the transformative power of music as a tool for social integration, expression, and self-discovery. Today, my compositions and performances aim to create shared spaces where people from diverse backgrounds can connect through the universal language of music.
