The Childhood Dreams That Came True:
From “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” to the present day, I learned my first guitar chords at the age of 15. My uncle taught me “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” and from that moment on, my primary focus has been writing my own songs. Singing came a little later, at the age of 17.
In 2004, I made my debut with TERRA PRIMA, a band that remains active to this day. With TERRA PRIMA, I recorded two studio albums, one live album, and embarked on European tours. We played at several festivals in Brazil and had the honor of being the opening act for iconic bands such as Iron Maiden, Sonata Arctica, Sepultura, Angra, among others.
The Passion For Music Knows No Boundaries:
Inspired by rock singers spanning various styles, from Grunge to Metal, and including Pop and Hard Rock, I drew influence from artists such as Axl Rose (Guns N’ Roses), Daniel Johns (Silverchair), Andre Matos (formerly of Angra, recently passed away), and Steven Tyler (Aerosmith). I began my singing journey in cover bands, absorbing the nuances of their voices. Additionally, I explored the music of bands like Muse, The Killers, and 30 Seconds to Mars, which contributed significantly to the diversity of my vocal style.
You can experience many of these nuances in my performances with Terra Prima, Antimatter Life and on my Youtube Channel.
Where My Spirit Comes ALIVE:
The stage is my true home! It’s the place where you’ll witness me at my most electrifying state. My primary objective is to connect with the audience and share my most intimate essence. Performing on stage is not just a passion; it’s my way of life. I thrive on conquering new places and meeting people of all ages and cultural backgrounds. It’s an addiction that fuels my soul!
Recording And Music Production:
Terra Prima recorded both studio albums with Marcello Pompeu and Heros Trench from Korzus, both of whom are recipients of the Latin Grammy Awards. This partnership led me to work as the Recording Engineer for Korzus’ album “Legion” (2014 – AFM Records) and to pen the lyrics for “Bleeding Pride.”
In 2013, I was responsible for the musical production of DUNE HILL’s debut album, “White Sand.” In 2016, Terra Prima released “HELLCIFE LIVE”, a thrilling live album, which I also directed the film crew for and edited. The same approach was taken for Thomas’s music video, which included underwater scenes. Both can be viewed on Terra Prima’s YouTube channel.
These days, I’ve recorded numerous songs for my YouTube channel and other bands, which you can explore by clicking here.
