I’m currently working as a flute and ensemble teacher at Mölndals Kulturskolan and I collaborate with great musicians/groups such as the Göteborgs Alternativa Orkester (GAO).

Belo Horizonte (Brazil) is my birthplace and I’ve been moving around since I finished my bachelor’s degree in music there in 2003. A couple of years in the US as a master’s student at The University of Iowa (2003-2005), working as an orquestra player and teacher in Vitória (Brazil, 2006-2009), working as a teacher and researcher in Juiz de Fora (Brazil, 2009-2011), then as a PhD candidate in Malmö (Sweden, 2011-2016).

From early on I have been interested in and involved with different kinds of music, having played with rock bands (Nono Osso),  chamber music groups (flute and guitar Duo Tramanduá, flute quartet Pé di Sí, woodwind quintet Capixaba), orchestras (Orquestra Sinfonica do Espírito Santo), and soundpainting ensembles (The Swedish Soundpainting Orchestra, International Soundpainting Think Tank Ensemble, Soundpainting BH). Teaching, performing, and researching have been deeply interrelated in my career. Since 2011 I’ve been exploring artistically and academically the affordances of soundpainting as compositional and performative medium through which artistic awareness can be raised as different forms of artistic expression become weaved together in performance.
