I was born in Itajubá in 1989 from a carioca and a mineira and soon moved to Rio where I was suposed to live.
When I was 3 my parents split up, and 3 years later I came back with my mother where life was calmer.
It took me some time to realize HOW things were different.
Apart not having friends we went straight to her home town, where she owns a farm, and I grew up having that as my background.
The close contact with people from the countryside added another dimension to the experience I had from Rio, where so much of the routine is made by serious commitments and social etiquete.
Here I was able to live free from pressure, up until 2008, when I moved back to Rio to study art. Although I had access to Parque Lage and even more liberating understanding of the art world, I also had to struggle with lack of confidence in my relation with my father, and a year later decided to move back to Minas, where I could at least have more ease to think and work my future up.
I got into college but didn't graduate, because soon In understood I didn't wanna become an architect, but make music.
Drawing was my driving force up until that moment, but as I moved on with the project of keeping art I began realizing how the art world works, and being away from a capital made it tremendously difficult.
During this process I rediscovered music. I had been playing in my room and to close friends never taking myself too seriously for 20 years!
After a series of challenges I ended up having my family suport, and could then work myself around my desire to best myself in the art I was always so carried away by.
