I started to play at the age of 7. First I played the piano, then I continued with the classical guitar. As my father is a music teacher and we lived in a music school, I was exposed to music from my very childhood. And, of course, I wanted to try a musical instrument…any of them.
When I was a teenager, my great inspiration in music was a band called Extreme with an excellent guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, and Mr. Big with Paul Gilbert. Later, I listened to other bands, such as Accept, Black Sabbath, and Ozzy Osbourne. My turning point was when I realized the existence of the band called Dream Theater and it reamains the big inspiration for me till nowadays. These days I love to be inspired by the guitarists Guthrie Govan and Paul Gilbert the most.
When I was 13 I played (also several concerts) with my teenage group called KDMD. I played with my school mates when I studied at music conservatory, but there were no concerts, only rehearsals because of the absence of a suitable singer. Then I participated in several projects of my friends, such as Mouse House nad Comedy Melody.
