I am professional musician since 1994, I graduated as classical violin player but besides classical work, I play also folk music trying to adapt my playing to multiple music styles.

I was granted the Gulbenkian music scholarship during conservatoire violin studies and in 2000 I was invited to represent Portugal in a International Folk music meeting in Brittany-France. Later I received important award and nominations with bands I play with, among them the «German Record Critics’ Award» in 2009 and a nomination to Songlines Music Awards 2010, both with Stockholm Lisboa Project.

Since 1998 I've been touring around Europe, Canada and China with different projects. Shared the stage with important names of Portuguese music like Mariza, Laurent Filipe, Carlos do Carmo, Camane, Mario Delgado, Bernardo Sasseti, Mario Laginha, among other great musicians, in orchestra or smaller bands. Jaques Morelenbaum, Caetano Veloso, Johan Hedin, Björn Meyer... (very nice memories)!

Besides instrumental career I am also choir conductor, teacher and webdesigner.
